Hey everyone,

I am new to the website and am glad to have found it. This is the perfect opportunity for networking and potential deal making, I look forward to meeting everyone!

To tell you a little bit about myself, I am a young and very aggressive investor who took to this business like a fish to water. I am a regular at the new jersey real estate investment club and got into this business over a year ago. I started working in pre-foreclosures, partnered up with the right people, and now manage one of the most successful real estate investment/wholesaling companies in North Jersey. I also have my realtor's license.

As anyone can tell you, with all of the foreclosures out there, you need to learn the art of the short sale to be successful in the years to come. I have spent thousands of dollars in courses and seminars without regret. This is what many consider the "perfect storm" and the next 2-3 years can potentially create our wealth for the rest of our lives.

I can say that approximately 90% of the deals that come through my office are short sales. We consistently receive 50-60% discounts from banks and have helped numerous homeowners get back on their feet. To date, we have closed in excess of 30 deals, and have 17 in the pipline as well as another 10-15 SS's we do for realtors.

So that is my story as of now. I hope to take this company to the next level and monopolize the short sale business in north Jersey!! :) I hope on this forum I can meet more people with the same attitude and goals as myself. I believe someone's attitude towards this business is the difference between the people that LAST and people that DON'T!! I do not want to work or deal with anyone looking to "get rich quick" without the hard work it involves.

Thanks for listening, and any questions or comments feel free to add me as a collegue.

P.S- Any newbies from Jersey looking for the most cost-effective way to invest in real estate, contact me!
