New Member Introduction - Armand from NJ

[Armand Munoz]

Hi all!

My name is Armand, currently residing in New Jersey and I am new to BiggerPockets. I have been a Registered Nurse for the past 8 years, working as an ICU trauma nurse and currently the Stroke Coordinator of a major Medical Center located in Northern NJ.

I am the owner of a duplex located in the Central part of NJ and have been receiving a steady cash flow. I would love to connect with others, particularly those who have successfully used the BRRRR strategy. Over the past year, I have been reading, studying and practicing everything real estate related. More in particular - Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat by David Greene, The Book on Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy, the 10X Rule, Rich Dad Poor Dad, podcasts, YouTube videos, webinars, attended seminars, etc. I feel I am now more comfortable to take the leap to propel forward with great velocity.

My why revolves around creating enough passive income (~$15k/mo) to support my parents who are growing older because I would not be in this position if it weren’t for them, watch my future family (I plan to have in the next year or two) not only grow up before my eyes, but be there for them as an active, loving father, and help those closest to me understand that financial freedom through real estate is achievable. My passion to help others is my purpose and building something for myself will in turn create joy, happiness, and freedom to those around me.

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you in this great community. Cheers to lifelong connections! 

Best regards,

Armand

Welcome Armand! I'm located in central Jersey and have 3 units in NJ and one in Ohio. I have always been interested in the BRRRR strategy myself, mostly through the BP podcasts, but find it tough to estimate repairs and appraisal value. I should probably read David Greene's book as well. I have very similar why's in terms of wanting to set my parents up, but also being able to spend some more time with my wife and kids.
