New Member - Middlesex, NJ

[Krishna Patel]

Hey Everyone!

My name is Krishna and I'm from Middlesex, NJ. I graduated from Rutgers in 2016 with a degree in Cell Biology & Neuroscience. I thought I was set, but life after college wasn't everything I imagined it to be. I landed a job as a supply chain manager and after a year I left to be a Chemist for a large generics pharmaceutical giant. I started saving up money on the side because I always new I wanted to get into real estate, but I never really took any steps towards realizing my goal.  Even after saving up, I realized that in this area my money doesn't go very far. However, I am still determined to make this work and my plan is to buy a rental property in Central or North Jersey either late 2018 or early 2019 as I would be more comfortable being within driving distance  to check up on things. I am open to other markets possibly even outside of my state, but that would require much more research and it feels a bit frightening. Hopefully, as I learn and create some connections with you all that will subside.

I'm very interested to create meaningful relationships where we both can add value to each other. 

Some of my goals are probably quite similar to yours. I want to create financial freedom to be able to not have to work and eventually purchase multiple properties in other regions of the country to vacation in when not rented.

Additionally, I have been listening to the Bigger Pockets Podcasts and I have to say they've re-inspired my love for real estate.

Welcome @Krishna Patel  We have several rental properties in central NJ - in varying stages - some with tenants that just renewed their leases for the 3rd year and some that we are still in the middle of rehabbing as well as another one just under contract.  We do all of our rehab work in-house.  Feel free to message me if you'd like to meet up for coffee sometime and talk shop.  I still have a W2 job as a pharmacist but love working on the properties as well.
