Rookie In NJ

Yaumari Gonzalez
Posted

Hello everyone,

I’m excited to join this forum and connect with fellow real estate enthusiasts. My name is Yaumari, and I’m a passionate real estate agent based in New Jersey. I’ve been in the market for two years now, and while the learning curve has been steep, especially in the NJ market, I’m committed to growing and improving every day.

I primarily worked with buyers, many of whom were family and friends. This was a great way to begin my journey, as my initial motivation for obtaining my real estate license was to purchase my own home, which I successfully did this year.

Now, I'm embarking on a new adventure as a real estate investor. My investment goals include building a portfolio of rental properties, focusing on both single-family homes and multi-family units. I aim to create a steady stream of passive income and achieve long-term financial stability. Additionally, I'm interested in exploring the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to maximize my investment returns.

I’m eager to learn from this community and share my experiences as I navigate this exciting path. Thank you in advance for the support and insights you all provide. I’m looking forward to creating wealth and achieving success together.

Hey Yaumari,

Welcome to the exciting world of real estate investing! It's fantastic to hear about your journey from helping friends and family to taking the plunge yourself. I remember when I bought my first investment property..it felt like navigating unchated waters, but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

The BRRRR method is a powerful strategy. A colleague of mine in Scottsdale recently used it to turn a fixer-upper into a profitable rental within months. It's incredible how reinvesting can accelerate your growth. As you build your portfolio, consider exploring markets like Austin or Phoenix..they're vibrant and full of potential.

If you're ever up for swapping stories or diving into market insights, I'm just a message away. It's always great to connect with fellow enthusiasts who share the same passion.
