Noob Introduction from Central Jersey

[Christopher Noto]

Hello all.

I'm an aspiring real estate investor and I'm interested in the rental side of the game. I plan on buying my first property ever (a multi-family home) by the Fall of 2016. I am from New Jersey, however I am strongly considering purchasing my first property in Pennsylvania in a Philadelphia suburb to be closer to a major city and also pay less in property taxes. 

I'm looking forward to learning a lot here along with finally communicating with other similar minded people.

@David Semer Thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate your tips and info on REI groups. I feel like I just stepped out of a cave. For so long I haven't been able to communicate with anyone that "gets it"... What a breath of fresh air. Thanks again David!
