Introduction: New Member from Union City, NJ

[Shannon Guy]

Hi BP Community! I've been a long-time lurker and have benefited enormously from the wisdom of this great group, and I figured it was time to introduce myself. I'm an attorney in Manhattan and an active real estate investor in Northern New Jersey. I've lived with my long term boyfriend, John Errico, in Union City for the past year and a half. We are investing in duplexes and triplexes there and we love our neighborhood. We're also investing in New Haven, Connecticut, and we've got our eyes on Jersey City and Newark. We've met up with several bigger pockets members and we absolutely love this community! Here are some things I like:

- Ugly houses on pretty blocks

- Buy and hold investing

- Houses that cash flow

- Getting my hands dirty after work and on the weekends with a great DIY project

- Exploring interior design options to make ugly houses pretty

- Learning new skills related to all of the above!

- BP members!

Thanks to all of you for your enthusiasm for real estate.

Hi @Shannon Guy, welcome to BP! I am also an attorney, practicing in northern NJ and also licensed in NY. Are you looking at other areas besides Jersey City, Newark and Union City? BP has been an invaluable tool and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Look forward to meeting and working with you!

@Jamir Nicholsonwhere in NJ do you want to invest? I am always looking for potential partnerships. Let me know if you are interested in speaking.

@Judy ParkerI was supposed to go last night to the Meetup but couldn't make it last minute. Glad to see you were there - how did you like the event?

@Ashley Lesieur where is the meetup next Wed? I would love to attend if possible.
