Newbie from New York, NY
Hello, Bigger Pockets!
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Ben Bratton and I stumbled across BP through the books and podcasts. There is just so much great and easily accessible content!
A little bit about me, I am based in NYC and am just starting out in real estate investing. I have a few flips under my belt that I have worked on through my current full-time job (a bit of a long story). I am also an Olympic athlete, so I really enjoy working towards long-term goals. It’s been fun working with someone else’s money to get some experience but I am looking to branch out on my own.
Regardless, I’m really excited about joining such an enthusiastic community and am looking forward to learning, finding new opportunities, and expanding my network here.

Thanks a lot, @Scott Wolf
The flips have been in New Jersey. East Orange and Union.
