Noob from Northern NJ

[Alan Berlin]

Hey all-

Right now I own a duplex in which I live in one unit. I am a newbie looking to get into Northern NJ RE multi-family properties. I’ve been searching online and speaking to brokers. For the most part- properties I’m interested in have already been sold or the agent has not gotten back to me in a timely manner.

• 1. Any recommendations for a commercial RE brokers or wholesalers?
• 2. I would like to go to a Commercial RE investors’ group meetup. When I search online for those I find tons of groups. Anyone here recommend a specific group? Looking to interact with like-minded investors.

Thanks all!

Alan

Welcome. 

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who provide deals and rehabbers (cash buyers). You can Google to locate them and go to meetup.com
