Building Relationships in Jersey City, NJ

Hello Everyone—

I'm new to the investing world currently living in NYC as I finish out my last few months of school before graduating. My plan is to start investing in the capital district of NY, since that is where I am most familiar with and grew up not too far from there. However, after about my third or fourth investment, and after gaining some experience, I would like to move back downstate. I have been to Jersey City a handful of times and believe it, as well as surrounding cities, has a lot to offer for investment purposes. With that said I also find it confusing, as one street can be nice but the next two or three streets over could be another story.

I am hoping to connect with other investors in the area; veterans or newbies. Maybe I could help you with a rehab or send out direct mail for a day. I don't have a car, but I am more than willing to help anyway I can. My main goals are to begin to build relationships with other investors, agents, or people who aren't experienced in investing but may know the area, in addition to getting to know the market. I have a lot of energy and real estate investing is something that I am truly passionate about!

I apologize for making this longer than it probably should be, but I wanted to give you all a proper background and my vision for the future.

Thank you, and I look forward to making many connections along the way.

Best,

Desiny Smith
