Newbie Investor - Philadelphia

[Jose Asencio]

Greetings BiggerPockets Family,

I hope all is well, and your pockets continue to grow BIGGER! My name is Jose Asencio, I am a Philadelphia native who has had a real estate passion spark in me from an early age. Where I reside, my father has owned the house next door on a "buy & hold" purpose ever since I was a child. I remember growing up and seeing income coming in every month from this investment. From there on, I always knew I wanted to involve myself in real estate. 

I am currently a college student pursuing a bachelors degree in "Information Science & Technology". Therefore, I had to put my real estate passion aside. Although its aside, it is not abandoned nor forgotten. I frequently tune in to the "BiggerPockets Podcast" whenever I get the chance. Listening to the journeys of other members is rather informative, however, I know I'll learn better when I'm more hands-on. Which partly brings me to the reason why am I here. I'm looking to connect with other members from the BiggerPockets community to establish relationships and to share knowledge. I'm also seeking an apprenticeship opportunity to help get me going. I've been a member since 2017 but this is my first initial step into the community.

In addition, I do not come empty-handed. I have a ton to offer. For example: 

- I know programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL
- I can build websites
- I can build databases 
- I can create logos, etc

Feel free to reach out family!

Thank You,
Jose Asencio
