@Russell Brazil Best advice! Lol

Cesar M. Welcome to BP! There's no better place to learn REI.

@Timothy Metra Im a licensed realtor and I would say to keep the job that you hate for a little while longer because it will help you get approved for a mortgage or maybe multiple mortgages. If you become a full time realtor without a constant income it will be much harder to get approved for a mortgage. Becoming a realtor is like starting a business, it takes time to build it and it's not as easy as most people think. I think you have a bright future ahead of you thinking the way you do at 23.

Buy first multifamily.

Hi Stephen Sebro and welcome to BP! I'm also from north Jersey and looking to make my first multi family purchase before the year is over. What areas have you been looking in?

Cheri Lange Im a real estate agent and I have learned and heard from many successful people that it is possible to make money in any type of market even if the market shifts. It's just a matter of changing strategy. Also there's less competition in a down market because most of the other agents quit when times are tough.

Anisa Futrell congratulations on your first closing! I am from north Jersey and looking to get my first rental property soon as well.

I recently joined a brokerage called eXp Realty, and they are rapidly expanding domestically and internationally. They offer the support and relationships of a small brokerage while also offering rev share and nationwide network of agents. It is a cloud based brokerage that is publicly traded, agents receive stock in the company. They have a great commission split and low cap. Check it out at join.exprealty.com.

Thank you all for the welcome and information, it's nice to officially be apart of the community. I will be checking out those meet ups for sure!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the journey!
