Connect for opportunities in PA/NJ Single/Multi-Family and Mentorship/Advice

[Shaina Sarna]

Hello, 

My name is Shaina and I am new to investing in real estate. I'm excited to join the Bigger Pockets community and start my journey. I live in the Jersey Shore, NJ and I am looking to find Long Term Rental Properties in PA and NJ. My goal is to achieve real estate professional status and scale appropriately to get to this point. Looking to do this with single and multi-family properties.

I am looking to connect with any agents/brokers and also looking for any mentorship to help me achieve these goals. I hope to expand into developing markets outside of my local community and give back to the BP community when I am a more seasoned investor. 

Looking forward to learning from everyone and making connections!

Thanks, 

Shaina

Hello Shaina, and welcome to the BP Community. 

As a new investor I always recommend choosing an area you know best. This will help you differentiate a good deal from a bad one. Relying heavily on connections you dont fully know is not always the best move. 

Pick a market you know well and attack it. If you know a market well, you will be able to recognize whether it is a good property/deal or not. 

Even if I find you a solid deal, you likely won't jump on it if you don't know the area. 

Don't pick a market because its cheap. Usually if its too good to be true, its likely too good to be true.

Unsure of an area? Drive by and get to know it

best of luck and reach out anytime
