New member in ocean county nj

[Mike Frelund]

Hey all, I just recently came across this site and am amazed at the slew of information it can provide. I figured it's proper to introduce myself. I'm a thousand percent new to this. I'd love to get into real estate, originally had the idea of flipping which I'm assuming most people have thought of. But after I started reading the book I found on here of all the other options it's basically put me at a point now to where I have absolutely no idea where I'd like to start. I live in New Jersey, in Ocean county and spend most of my time near my job in mercer county. I'm an incredibly motivated person, have been providing for myself and family since I'm 14 years old (single parent household with a disabled mother) and I'm always willing to learn new things. I've worked in commercial and residential low voltage electric jobs (i.e. Security systems, home automation, home theater) I've done commercial glazing, and for a brief time did pipe fitting. I've also redone some rooms in my house. Basically I'm not too bad with my hands, not amazing, but I can handle myself fairly well. I'm hoping to learn and interact with as many people here as possible to get my ball rolling as smooth and securely as I can. Thanks!
