New member trying to get into real estate investing
Hey, hows it going everyone? my names Jonathan and I live in New Jersey. I have no experience in real estate as of right now. I've been reading books, watching podcasts/videos online. Doing as much research as I can to understand and move forward. I'm currently working at a Nissan dealership as a Technician. I've recently decided that I wanted to take control of my life and stop working for money, instead have money work for me. I know that real estate is not a "get rich quick" solution, but something that will take a lot of time, passions, blood, sweat and tears. I'm willing to give it my all and hustle for what I want. I joined BiggerPockets so I can get more knowledge and understanding of real estate and some guidance and advice. So hopefully you guys can help me and maybe eventually I can help you.
