@Account Closed I have you marked down, Lorenzo. Thanks!

@Jen Narciso Always good to connect with local BP'ers. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the event. We should definitely find some time to link up, I'm in the SO area very regularly.

Good luck finding that multi, those are all great markets as long as you can find the right numbers!

@Fahima Hilal@Daniel Gonzalez @Daniel Gonzalez, thanks for the quick response. Looking forward to working with both of you. I will be in touch as opportunities present themselves, please reach out in the meantime if you have anything worth further investigation. 

Thanks!

Hi BP Nation,

My colleagues and I are in search of private money and deals in the North Jersey area. We currently have a few projects underway in West Orange, East Orange and South Orange, some being buy and holds, others being flips (both small and more significant projects). At present, we have control of a relatively large pool of capitol and are hoping to grow that number to participate in more projects.

[Here is one of the flips we recently completed: 451 Academy St South Orange NJ 07079

We bought 451 Academy for 369k, put 220k into it and resold for 690k. This renovation consisted of the following: Full gut, redesigned layout, new roof, new mechanicals, refurbished flooring, new deck, new siding, etc. You’ll see the finish work came out quite well in this 3-D Tour: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=4PWwgiHpbGj]

Should you come across off-market opportunities in North Jersey, please reach out to us. We are interested in both cash and financed transactions, and depending on the opportunity are open to discussing joint ventures.

I am also actively working on deals with my mentor and partner Darren Sager, whom I have partnered with on several successful projects (we met right here on Bigger Pockets!). Active investors in the NJ/NY area may have attended some of the Bigger Pockets meetups hosted by Darren, and I encourage you to attend if you’re not a regular already. 

We will be building a buyers/investors list for future funding of projects. Please drop us a comment below or shoot an email to [email protected] if interested in participating in the successes to come.

Happy Investing,

Bill

Hi Ceasar, always nice to see new meetups being started. Are you guys aware of the meetups Darren Sager organizes in NYC? The last couple have been in WeWork spaces and were some of the best events I've been to. Between the catering and speakers Darren is able to pull it's a lot of bang for your buck. 

Good luck with your meetup!

I moved on from it actually. Thanks for asking. However, since then I have acquired two properties in South Orange, NJ. My duplex has been performing nicely over the past couple years and the single I just recently picked up and am in the process of renovating before renting out. 

I'll probably start another thread on the single family I mentioned above, would love to hear BP's recommendation on certain things as I move through the project. This will be my first time running a significant reno. So far so good though! 

As always, excited for the meetup. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Great article! I'm sure it feels good to see recognition for your hard work and it is well deserved. Thanks for creating this wonderful resource. 

I will be there!!

I'm in! Look forward to meeting another BP star. As always thanks for organizing, Darren.
