Newbie from New Jersey

[Bhanu Kuna]

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Bhanu(Bah - nu) and I work in Manhattan at a credit card company. I've been working in data and financial technology since 2009. Recently I've been listening to a lot of the bigger pockets podcasts and doing a lot of reading about real estate and decided real estate investing is what I want to do long term.

The main goal of being a member of this forum are to continuously learn and hopefully teach others as a continue to build my knowledge base. Hopefully, as I continue my journey, I get to meet a lot of like-minded individuals in the New Jersey, New York, and Philadelphia area and build a strong network as well.

I do own my own personal residence in Jersey City, other than that, I don't have any formal experience with Real Estate investing. Ideally, by the end of the year, I'm hoping to close at least 1 or 2 buy and hold deals for passive rental income. Looking forward to starting my journey on bigger pockets and investing in the NY, NJ and PA area or wherever a good deal takes me!

Cheers,

Bhanu
