Hello from NJ
Hey all,
I'm Ryan from NJ. I've been a periodic visitor over the years and decided it's finally time to introduce myself.
I'm currently a senior in college in the DC area, and I'll be starting work in NYC this summer (assuming I graduate...). Real estate investing has always been a pivotal component of my long-term career plan, and I'm finally ready to take the plunge into my first deal.
My goal is to have deal #1 in the books by the time I graduate in May.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your stories, lessons, and experiences over the years. I look forward to contributing!
Any questions, feel free to ask!

Welcome Ryan! What part of NJ are you from? What area will you step into on your first deal? Buy and hold? Wholesale? Short sales?
