New and Eager to Start My Journey

Hello, Im Chris. Im a 32 year old southern New Jersey native (Winslow Township). I am here to learn the ropes of breaking into the real estate world. I have been in construction since a young teenager and have been a union carpenter for 2 years now. I have a strong work ethic and am eager to learn new things.

My goal is to build a legacy for my family one day. To be financially free. I want to build something that I can once day show, teach and pass on to my young son when he grows up. I like tge ideas of multi family homes, longer term rentals, fix and flips, short term vacation rentals and commercial opportunities like rv parks/campgrounds etc.

Welcome, Chris. Your background in construction gives you a real edge, especially in fix and flips and value-add multi-family deals. With your drive and clear vision for the future, you're already ahead. Keep learning, stay consistent, and you'll build that legacy. Happy to connect and support you on your REI journey!
