 Sounds great Jake. I’ll shoot you a DM!

@Ryan B. Let’s grab a coffee or a drink if you’re up for it. I would love to hear your experience and your journey!  I’ll DM you.

Shawn, thanks.  I'll take this over to DMs.  Very much appreciate it!

 Thanks @Justin Windham.  Very much still learning how to use the site.  One of my goals is to better understand how to buy a tax lien in New Jersey (or other states if it makes more sense), so I'll try to find a few folks around North Jersey that might be willing to allow me to buy them a cup of coffee and pick their brains! 

 Thanks @Bruce D. Kowal.  I've added myself to the group, however it looks like all the events are virtual.  At this stage, I'd really like to make connections in person as I'm pretty "Zoomed out" after the pandemic.  I'll keep my eye on that group to see if an in person meeting materializes.  Thanks again!

Hi all!  My name is Sean and I'm just beginning my real estate journey.  I'm 38 years old and work in a specialty insurance business that has no connection to real estate, so my knowledge is really only what I've learned from the Bigger Pockets podcasts at this point.  Like most, I've read Rich Dad Poor Dad and I try very hard to combat lifestyle creep so I can invest in assets as opposed to liabilities.  

I live in Morristown and have owned my primary residence for a little over 5 years at this stage (which I see as a liability, though the appreciation these last two years has been nice).  I've ordered a number of real estate investing books and I'm excited to get started, but I'm really interested in finding a group of people in North Jersey that can share some of their experience in our market and perhaps introduce me to events or meet-ups so I can begin familiarize myself with all things real estate.

Thanks so much in advance for reading, and if anyone is in Morristown (or close by), I'd love to grab a casual cup of coffee or a beer.

Thanks in advance for any comments and recommendations.
