Military Newbie from Central New Jersey
Hello everyone!
This is my first post to the BiggerPockets forum and I'm very excited to be here. I'm currently active duty Air Force stationed in central New Jersey and have had an interest in REI for quite a while. I've decided that it's about time to take the first step towards eventually achieving financial freedom after reading a few of the BiggerPockets books, practicing analyzing deals, and spending some time browsing these forums. Currently, I am searching for my first rental property investment that I plan on doing a cosmetic rehab to, house hacking with roommates, and then eventually turning into a true rental property. Rehabbing houses is not something I have done before but my mechanical inclination should allow me to pick it up with some practice and I figured a small single family rental requiring a mostly cosmetic rehab would be perfect to learn with. I would appreciate advice that anyone has to offer, and also would love to spend some time shadowing a more experienced REI from the central NJ area if there is anyone looking for an extra hand. I look forward to connecting and working with everyone in the future!
