I currently live in Rahway NJ. I currently own my own home but I have been trying to get into real estate investing for a couple of years. I have been doing a lot of listening to the BP podcast and I am starting to have my eyes opened. Looking back I would have opted to buy a duplex home which I could have rented in order to generate income as opposed to my single family home. 

With that said, it’s never too late, and that’s why I am here; hoping to start somewhere and steadily build a substantial real estate portfolio. I am hoping I will be able to learn a lot from bigger pockets and networking, using all the possibly tips and tricks and all I can learn from you guys.

@Temie William-Olley

Welcome to BP, there are a lot of great resources here. 

You may realize certain things now, but you can make better choices going forward.

How big of company do you plan to grow?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

When you have other questions, search BP first to see if someone else has already the question answered. If not, feel free to ask your question.

If you want to get someone's attention use the @ symbol and start to write their name. It should pop up then click on their name.

After someone has wrote something you found useful or like give them a vote 

and most importantly

Remember
