Hello All:
I am new to the real estate investing community in the central NJ area and just signed up with BiggerPockets.com. I am looking to gain further knowledge of the local market, network with other investors, bankers, contractors, etc. to better establish myself and my place in the industry. I have a business partner and we are looking to start purchasing and re-selling real estate inside in the next few months.
I currently work in the construction industry, but transitioning to real estate investing full time has always been my goal.
I would like to use this forum to introduce myself, and hopefully establish some valuable business relationships, while gaining the knowledge required to be successful. I am excited to join Bigger Pockets and look forward to all that this community has to offer.
@Matt Terranova Welcome to BP! I am from Central Jersey as well. I live about 35 mins. from Brick in Hamilton Township. I am a new to REI as well and have found lots of useful information through BP. If you ever need anything feel free to reach out!
BP is full of useful resources such as forums and blogs. Welcome to the Bigger Pockets community-be sure to check out all the awesome BP blogs under “Learn.”
Hi Matt and welcome to the site. I'm sure your construction background will be a great asset to your investing career. I've also heard some people saying good things about Brick.
If you're looking to network with others there are a couple groups in the area. I run one that will be should be meeting next on July 30th in Middletown and there's also one in Manahawkin. I haven't been to that one myself, but it might be of interest to you as well. Good luck!
