Unfortunately my work schedule won't allow me to attend.  Really bummed that I won't be there!  

Amazing work  @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner !

The thoughtfulness and quality of work going into the podcasts and BP community overall is unmatched and your milestone and continued success is well deserved.  Congratulations!

Hello @Sonja Pope !  Welcome to Bigger Pockets.  Plenty of opportunity out there if you expand further south in NJ but the competition will be cash buyers that can move quickly.  Attend some local meet ups and explore hard money lenders.   

If it's an option you might want to consider buying a 2-family that needs upgrades/minor work that you can live in and fix up to build equity at the same time.

Hello @Bryan Nevin !  Welcome to the site.

If you don't find local meetups please look to attend our monthly

meetings in Summit NJ or the next NYC meetup.  We would love to connect with you!

Welcome to BP @Kenneth Harrell !   

Since you are a homeowner you already have your first step to investing underway!  

Do you have any ideas on next steps and goals ?  Definitely attend as many local meetings as you can so you can start building relationships and a good network.

Best of luck.

This is an outrageous amount of money to pay for a course or mentoring when you get it here for free and can meet local investors/mentors in your home area for free or very little money.    It is designed to make the hosts of the course rich, not you.  

Do yourself a favor and find a realtor who also invests and can show you properties, and use that money for down payment on a property!   Take time learning how to identify a good deal, use the tools on Bigger Pockets such those under  "Analyze - Deal Analysis Forum" .    I would be happy to discuss more in-depth and offer guidance if you send me a message.
