Aspiring Investor from Northwest New Jersey!

[Mike Ventura]

Hello BP members! It's a pleasure to join this community and I am excited to network with all of you! Like most members, I'm here to source knowledge and build wealth through REI.

My name is Mike Ventura and I am from Northwest New Jersey - about two minutes away from the Delaware Water Gap. I'm 24 years old and currently work as a sales executive for DHL Express. With my last student loan payment in the books (woohoo!) I'm excited to start saving for my first Real Estate investment. In a perfect world I'd like to be closing my first deal for my 25th birthday in May. What a great present to myself right?! My short term goal is to buy and rent single family homes and as my Real Estate IQ develops, invest in other forms of Real Estate.

I'm here seeking guidance from experienced investors in New Jersey and if there is any value I can provide in return please let me know! I can read every book out there but I know getting knee deep in the business and learning from an expert is the best! Look forward to your feedback everyone!
