Just another newbie.

Hi, I'm Andri from Newark, NJ. Sorry I skipped this step. But I'm here now doing what I'm supposed to do. I'm really glad I found this community. I'm here to learn, connect and eventually pass on the knowledge to others. 

I just finished reading the "Ultimate Begginer's Guide to REI" book. Loved it! I may start from buy and hold. Hopefully I can find an owner-financed deal nearby. Since I'm self employed, traditional loan might not be an option for me. I think a small multi family house should be a good start.
