Excited to Learn & Take Action - New Investor from New Jersey

[Richard Herro Jr.]

Hey everyone,

My name is Richard Herro, and I’m a new investor based in New Jersey. I’ve been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast daily on my commute and finally decided to jump into the forums to learn, connect, and start taking action.

A little about me:

I work as a Substation Design Engineer and currently live near the Jersey Shore.

I’m focused on learning about house hacking, buy-and-hold rentals, and creative financing strategies.

Right now, my biggest challenges are:

Understanding the best financing options for a first-time investor.

Finding a solid market near me that aligns with my budget and goals.

Learning how to analyze deals with confidence.

If anyone has tips, resources, or experiences they’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear them! Looking forward to connecting and contributing where I can.
