Real Estate Investor & Rehabber in NYC

[Geoffrey Jones]

Hi everyone. I'm a real estate investor in NYC.

I am currently looking at real estate outside of my home state with my eyes set on acquiring properties in NYC, Northern NJ, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Maryland, Georgia, Virginia, N & S Carolina & Florida.

I am pretty seasoned when it comes to knowledge of R.E. investment strategies, credit repair, building business credit & marketing but I find there is always something new to learn everyday from these forums.

Thanks BP

Welcome to BP @Geoffrey Jones ! Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. Even though you're a more seasoned investor I think a great way to begin using BP is to read the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing as Josh and Brandon did a great job with it. And now that you're here we'd love to see you be an active member of the BP community so be sure to set up Keywords Alerts for your local area such as "Queens" or "Elizabeth" if you're looking to find potential opportunities for investing, education in a subject, or other members in your area. Use the Find Members area to network with other members who are local to you or are in an area you're wanting to invest in. Podcasts come out weekly and are great way to learn on the move. I find there's always a gold nuggets of information in each one and I go back to listen to a number of them multiple times.

If you appreciate a post that a fellow member put up responding to you be sure to say "Thank You!" by casting a vote for it. If you think a response you read is good or answers another member's question well cast a vote for it. It's our own version of liking something on Facebook provided you're familiar with that. Simply click the box in the upper right corner of the post!

If you want to get a member's direct attention in a post you're writing first type an @ and then a ?, (example: @?) and then wait..................... (sometimes longer than you might expect), for their name to appear below where you're writing, then be sure to click on it. IF it doesn't have their name highlighted in a blue background (like yours is above) it didn't work properly and you should try again. This will send them an email or an alert notifying them that you've mentioned them. Those alerts can also be seen if you mouse over the "Inbox" on the upper right menu bar and scroll down.

We do get together once a month as @John Moore mentioned in Manhattan. Usually on the second Tuesday evening. Send me a colleague request to be kept in the loop or set up a keyword alert for NYC Meetup.

And lastly I highly recommend becoming a Plus or Pro member of the site and take advantage of all that BP has to offer you. It's like getting the keys to the kingdom. It will be one of the best investments you'll make when it comes your real estate investing.

Again welcome to Bigger Pockets!
