Excited to Start My Real Estate Journey!

[Stanley Yeldell]

Hi BP Community,

I’m Stanley Yeldell, new to real estate investing and ready to dive in! I’m focusing on [strategy, e.g., rentals, flips, or house hacking] and eager to build a portfolio that leads to financial freedom.

Currently, I’m learning, networking, and analyzing deals to take my first steps.

Questions for You:

• What’s the best advice for a beginner?
• How did you fund your first deal?
• Any must-have tools or resources?

Would love to connect, especially with those investing in New Jersey!

Welcome to BP!

It's exciting to see your focus on building a real estate portfolio for financial freedom! Start by educating yourself with foundational books like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor and practicing deal analysis using tools like BiggerPockets calculators. Clarify your strategy—whether it's rentals, flips, or house hacking—and build a team of agents, lenders, and contractors. For funding, explore options like FHA loans, personal savings, or creative financing, and focus on New Jersey markets that align with your goals, such as Newark for rentals or commuter towns for house hacking. Stay consistent and take calculated steps to gain momentum!

Good luck!
