Newb investor from NJ

[Bob Manning]

Hello BP Community!

My name is Bob Manning and I'm an aspiring REI from NJ.

Like many others here, I read Rich Dad Poor Dad. That book blew my mind and my thinking about life and work has changed. 

I’m currently a medical device distributor in the NJ spine market. While it’s a great career and I make a nice living, it’s a young man’s game and I know this ride won’t last forever. 

I love the idea of making passive income and getting to financial independence. Who doesn’t I guess?

I’m going to focus my efforts on small 2-4 unit multi family properties  and go from there.  I own my home and have a substantial amount of equity in it. I never thought about home equity like I do now after read RDPD and from here on BP. Good stuff!

My goals are to:

- Complete my first deal before the end of 2018

- Take @Brandon Turner surfing here in NJ

- Use stack method to grow my portfolio

- Own one storage facility in my lifetime

I’m looking to make friends and partnerships here. I’m looking forward to giving it back when I become a seasoned veteran hopefully sooner than later. 

Thank you BP!
