[Eduardo Justo]

Hey guys!! 

I'm super pumped to be part of the community!  I'm Lalo, I just moved to Astoria from UES and for the past 2 years I've been learning about real estate. I want to start by buying my first multifamily property this year. I know the basics  about RE but i'm eager to learn more and grow within the community. I'd love to connect with people that are trying to do the same and with people that have already done it. i want to add value to the community  and be able to leanr from you! Looking forward to connect with you! Blessings!  LFG!!!

@Eduardo Justo - Welcome to the BP community. Sounds like you are off to a reat start. I recommend attending as many local real estate meetups as you possibly can. Make it a goal to attend at least 2 a week. I've developed my best and most long lasting relationships at meetups. I've met partners, lenders, contractors, essentially my team and its been incredibly valuable.

I also recommend finding someone in your market doing what you want to be doing at a larger scale and figuring out a way that you can provide them value. Be in walking properties for them, helping them with self management, joining their brokerage and providing them value in the form of commissions. Find out their pain points, provide immense value to them and expect nothing in return. At a certain point, the concept of reciprocity will kick in and they will feel a need to help you. These are a few initial steps I would take if I were in your shoes. Good luck on expanding your portfolio.
