Hello from New Jersey

[Nicholas R.]

Hello All,

I'm a beginning real estate investor in central New Jersey. I am employed full time. I own my home with about 40% equity, and was able to put a down payment on my mother's residence. Other than that I have some cash and a 401k to borrow from.

With that I am trying to gain financial independence. I am really intrigued by note investing. Controlling the property with paper appears to have many advantages. However, it also seems the most difficult to learn. I hope to find some guidance on my best first step from the community here. Hopefully, one day I will be able to return the favor.
