NY & NJ Licensed Real Estate Agent, Investor & Business Owner

[Bill Polynice]

Hope all is well with you and yours, especially during this holiday season and beyond! Though I am not completely new to BiggerPockets forum, I never took the opportunity to make a New Member Introduction. As the title says, I have been business owner (Consulting, Project Management, Property Management) for a few years now but have recently taken a dive into real estate and relating investments. I've began accumulating knowledge from several different sources such as Brandon Turner and the likes, as well as a variety of different podcasts, including the Real Estate Rookie and more.

I have heard the BiggerPockets realm referenced from several different sources and am looking to see what I can learn here because I believe I can never stop learning. Being licensed in New York and New Jersey, I am looking to learn as much as possible from everyone but especially from individuals working/investing within the two states.

Some things, among many others, that are on my mind:

How you got into investing?

What's your current strategy? How does your current strategy differ from your past strategy(s), if at all? How well aligned is your current strategy with your future strategy/end goal?

What are your expectations for the near future of the real estate market that might influence when/how you invest?
