New to BP and REI in Clark, NJ

[Michael Kovacs]

Hi All,

My name is Mike Kovacs and I've lived in Central NJ my whole life (just turned 26) and originally from Franklin (Somerset) NJ. I am currently a Senior Engineer at L'Oreal in Clark, NJ also where I am currently renting with my girlfriend of 5 years. 

I'm new to BP and have been researching REI for about a month or so. A close college (Rutgers) friend of mine has been buying houses in Morristown, NJ with his brothers and got me interested in REI. I've been reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching YouTube videos over the past month or so. Now looking to talk to real people and learn about other's experiences.

I want to stop renting and start building assets and equity in Real Estate! The biggest driver for this is actually my parents, and they don't even know it. Growing up and still to this day they live paycheck to paycheck and I've made it my goal to change this trend. I was the first to graduate college in my immediate family but I don't want to stop there! Looking forward to making some connections!

Thanks,

Mike
