Hey everyone! My name's Jerry Quintiliano. I'm so happy to be introducing myself to the Bigger Pockets community. I'm a real estate attorney in New York. My office is in Queens County. 

Ever since high school I've set a goal to become financially free. It wasn't until law school that I first heard the phrase "financial freedom," but the concept had always stuck with me. I believe real estate is my best vehicle to having the life I want. 

Right now I'm searching for my first multifamily home. I look forward to the hunt every day and I can't wait to add my FIRST investment deal to my Bigger Pockets profile. 

Hears to all the entrepreneurs and the journeys ahead!

@Jerry Quintiliano Welcome to BP community and congratulations on deciding to invest in RE! I wanted to share a few points.

1) Since you mentioned you want to start with MFH investing, but didn't specify the location, I'm assuming you're looking locally. NY-NJ market is pretty competitive. While it is possible to find a deal, it really depends on how conservative you're whether a potential deal will or will not make financial sense in your case. 

2) Have you decided for yourself on how active or passive you'd like to be? In other words, how many hours/week are you willing and realistically have to spend on RE business? Your answer may lead you towards either more passive or active route and you should take it to the next level by exploring the opportunities available at each route. 

Happy to share my experience offline. Feel free to PM me if interested. 

Best of luck!
