New Member-Giancarlo looking to invest in NJ/NYC

[Giancarlo Paone]

Hi Bigger Pockets. I currently live in the central NJ area and am 19 years old. I go to Rutgers and am trying a start a career in investing on the side and possibly go full time once I graduate. I have about 10K liquid cash in the bank and have an NY real estate license. Ive been watching bigger pockets stuff for a while and feel like I have a good amount of knowledge on RE investing. My mom is a NJ real estate agent and is friendly with a couple investors and contractors. I know I have a lot at my disposal that I can work with but I am unsure about which investment path I should begin with. Any suggestions?
