Just Getting Started

[Nicolas Gaspari]

Hello BiggerPockets community!

I have been soaking up as much information as possible over the last 3 months or so, and couldn't be more excited to implement my ongoing knowledge into the marketplace. I also had the privilege of attending a 3 day REI workshop with Cole Hatter (a member of Fortune Builders) which kick-started my learning curve.

A few lifelong friends and I attended the workshop together and just formed our LLC today! We are based in South New Jersey, but are looking to start doing deals throughout the entire state and also in Philadelphia. We look to start out by wholesaling, then moving to fixing and flipping once we get our definite network established to be able to jump into rehabs ourselves. Buying and holding is obviously a great cash flow provider and net worth builder when done right as well, which we will get to a few years into the process.

I love this website as it provides insight from people at various stages in their investment careers, and how everyone involved seeks to help others succeed opposed to viewing them as direct competition. 

We are young, ambitious and excited to network with others. If anyone has some insight on putting together deal packages for private money lenders, things to watch out for when estimating repair costs (frequent unexpected issues possibly), and the best way to separate ourselves from others putting in offers...it would be greatly appreciated. I will be blogging of our experiences and what we learn from each deal as well!

Hope to talk soon.
