Hello!

Newbie here with a goal to purchase my first real estate investment property in 2015. I would prefer to be a rehab and hold-type investor, specifically for multifamily's/commercial units, but this will obviously depend on the markets I'm in and other circumstances.

For my background, I'm from Sparta NJ and currently consider that my address; however, I'm a consultant and often spend months at a time in different cities (currently in SF). This makes my REI career challenging but interesting- I can easily take off 3 months at a time with no career consequences, which I see as a benefit if I want to rehab a property or try real estate investing full-time. Since I often work for clients in NYC, I have a dream of buying a multi-family close to the city, rehabbing it, and renting out the units while keeping one for myself.

Anyway, feel free to reach out to me with advice, questions, or just to chat! And definitely say hi if you're from beautiful Sussex County and like to golf Farmstead.

Thanks!

Bill

@Dave Bingham Thank you- I'm an anti-money laundering consultant, so my clients are banks.

@James Wise Thanks James! I think so too. And after seeing San Francisco, I think I'll head elsewhere for my first property.

@Shawn Mcenteer Hey Shawn, you're plan sounds awesome, congrats on your success so far. I'll absolutely be in touch. After Feb 14th I plan to be in NJ for awhile. I'd love to talk about what towns you're looking at for multi-families.
