awesome, congrats on your success thus far. Continue to rock in real estate and keep sharing your story to inspire others.

Congrats, i just closed on a 3 family myself in Newark a little over a month ago. Would love to connect with people in the area.

Another successful event in the books, can't wait for the next meetup. Wonder who the next guest speaker, this one will be tough to top.

This is awesome, keep up the good work. Keep the community posted on your progress, it is inspiring.

Awesome job William, please add me to your list. Darren is a great guy, can't wait to see him again Wednesday at the NYC meetup. I always learn a ton from him and he always has me thinking outside the box as well as long term.

Thanks.

All of the listing agents i dealt with seemed as if they were playing dirty. i came in well above asking price and they denied and asked everyone to bring in their best offer. I'm staying away from home path deals since this occurred to me multiple times. @David Fan

i'm trying to find a 3 family on through my agent but many of the reasonable ones are getting picked up by cash buyers, need to start finding deals other ways.

Just went to a productive meet up my realtor @Omar Ismael set up in the Newark area. He pulled together a few of his first time home buyer clients and a Mortgage Broker. The Broker gave an informative presentation and answered all questions that came his way. This is a great way for first time home buyers to get out of that nervous/skeptical stage. I learned few ways on how to finance and re-finance deals which I will be able to use now and on future deals. The Broker also provided a step by step process from when you find a deal until you are provided with the keys, he also provided estimated amount needed to bring at closing. I will recommend all realtors or any new investor to create a meet up in your area like this which will benefit all.

I meet up Omar on Bigger Pockets a few months ago and he has been more than just a realtor for me. He is a Realtor/Investor and also has a regular job. All of this doesn't stop him from going above and beyond for his clients. I hope all realtors follow this process.

This is awesome, congratulations. Keep up the good work.

Awesome story, keep up the good work and inspiration. Can't wait until I post my first success story. 

This is awesome Lee, I'm currently new to Investing as well. Bigger Pockets has really showed me the ropes and given me the confidence to put in my first offer on a multi family Home path property recently. I'm patiently waiting to hear back if the offer was accepted or not. I would love to connect with more people in the Jersey area since this is where i see myself doing most of my investing. I've been searching mainly in the Essex and Orange County. 

I would love to get the ball rolling with this property but will keep searching if this deal doesn't go through.
