New guy from New Jersey!

[Christopher Cruz]

Hello everyone! I'm really excited to be writing my first post to the website that has taught me so much in such a short amount of time! Some background on myself:

I am a 25 year old graduate (this past May!) who resides in South Jersey; Cumberland County to be specific. I recently got hired at a stereotypical office job that very quickly made me realize how much I crave financial independence. Since then I've been reading and digesting as many podcasts, posts, webinars etc from BiggerPockets that I can get a hold of. Unfortunately, this has led to a bit of analysis paralysis, though I have a pretty good idea of what kind of strategy I want to pursue. I just want to get started already, instead of feeling unfulfilled at the end of everyday when its time to clock out of the 9-5.

I was thinking of going with BRRRR to obtain Buy & Hold properties, but right now I'm in the deal finding stage. After, I was going to try and see if Hard money was the right way to go if I don't want to put any money down. Any opinions?

Anyway, if any of you are nearby this area (Vineland/Millville etc), I'd love to network! I've yet to make my first deal but maybe we can still learn from each other!

Thanks for reading my long-winded introduction post, I really appreciate it. Let's talk!
