Looking for Guidance..
Hello to the Bigger Pockets family, my name is Vishesh from Central NJ. I am 25 and graduated from Rutgers Business School in 2014. Upon graduating, I knew I didn't want to work corporate, a typical 9-5. I knew I had entrepreneurship in my blood. I had saved up some money from internships at J&J and Unilever, sold cars as a side-hustle in college & a took out a bank loan, to purchase a multi-unit Wingstop restaurant franchise development agreement.
I opened my first location in North Brunswick, NJ in October 2015. I opened my second location in New Brunswick, NJ in August 2017 and have two more locations under construction in Bergenfield, NJ and Edison, NJ. We have plans for a total of 10 more restaurants over the next 3 years.
I also became a franchisee of Orangetheory Fitness in 2016, and opened my first location in April 2017 in North Brunswick, NJ. I am a minority partner in this venture however, to someone who handles all the operations.
Now with my Wingstop's more streamlined with managers in each store, I want to get started with my real passion - real estate. I already negotiate all my leases and build out all my stores myself, so I love construction and rehabs. I have been reading as much as I can in my free time, books on real estate from Robert Kiyosaki, etc. But I am still unsure on how to truly begin into owning my own properties.
I am looking for some guidance on how to get started and am really hoping from someone I can learn from. People who can become friends and hopefully I can be an asset to this community. People who have been there before and is willing to share some of his/her expertise to a willing listener.
Thanks for reading this long post lol, probably the most I've typed since senior year of college. Looking forward tinkering some like-minded people on here and getting to master our true love of real estate.
