Refocused investor from New Jersey on my way to Central Florida!!!

[James Johnson]

Hello everyone. My name is James from New Brunswick, NJ but my wife and I will be moving to Central Florida in the fall. As of right now I am a local truck driver but my wife is going to team up with me going long distances after our move. We also have two adult children who may or may not be coming to Florida with us but that"s a whole other story.

I have some experience in real estate investing but unfortunately the houses flipped me more than I flipped them. I just didn't find BP soon enough to stop my stupidity. I started off buying and selling a couple lots from a tax sale in Pa which went well. But then I decided to buy multi-family's in a market I knew next to nothing about and got my hat handed to me. Long story short. I ended up scrambling back to a 9 to 5 in order to survive and have been recovering ever since.

The good news is "I'm back"! Refocused and ready to rock. With help from the BP Nation of course. We are moving to and going to focus our efforts in central Florida. Our focus will be on wholesaling and purchasing multi-family units to hold. Any assistance you guys and gals can offer us in learning about the areas around Orlando and east to Brevard County will be greatly appreciated. Just the same, if there is anyone who needs insight about Central Jersey or the Poconos, I will be more than happy to assist in any way I can.

I thank you all for just being here on BP and sharing your knowledge so freely. I am especially thankful for Josh, Brandon and all the contributors to the podcasts. I started listening to them last week and they have helped me get my confidence back. Sorry for the long intro. I normally don't say much but once I get going it's like a flood gate opens up.

Anyway. See you around BP and Go Rutgers!
