Hi, all! Brand new to BP and Real Estate. Stoked about plugging into this website and community! I work for a fin-tech/RIA startup in New Jersey and am a tutor on the side. Eager to empower local communities and create value for neighborly locals.

Please feel free to introduce yourself! Cheers!

    Hi @Dillon Kenniston,

    Welcome to BP!

    Great time to enter the Real Estate Market.

    Join your local REIA (DIG)

    Network, Educate yourself and build your power team.

    Start looking at properties and calling FSBO for Sale and FSBO for rent (For Rent is for sale) get some practice negotiating

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards,

    Joe Scorese

    Welcome to BP @Dillon Kenniston! Have you identified where your interest in real estate lie yet? Flipping? Buy and Hold? Notes, Mobile Homes, etc?

    Hi there @Odie Ayaga ! I have. I'd like to start off with buy and hold small multi-families. My wife and I are hoping to do our first house hack by January 2018, so I'm constantly keeping an eye out for deals. How about you? What are your real estate interests?

    Hey @Joseph Scorese , thanks for the tips! Any recommendations on resources for negotiation practice? I've read a few books on the subject (most recently "Getting to Yes") but would love some real life practice. Thoughts?

    @Dillon Kenniston I'm starting out in the flipping arena. What size house are you looking to house hack?

    @Odie Ayaga  Very cool! So you just started recently too? Or flipping is a new niche for you? I work full time as a product manager for a fintech firm, so the hours are crazy. My wife and I are hoping to start with something manageable, on the 2-4 unit end. Nothing commercial out the gate--maybe next year though. How'd you get your start in real estate?
