I work for an investment brokerage in Austin, and would be happy to connect and see if I can help you out in getting started on your REI ventures.Congrats on the move out to California to both of you! 

@Joshua Bailey every brokerage is different, and some brokerages have different fee structures for their agents.

You will have a hard time gaining any traction without a track record in real estate, underwriting, commercial brokerage, legal/accounting, property management or portfolio management. 

Does anyone know of or recommend a broker/agent in Jersey City, NJ who has experience in multi-family investing?

I saw a similar question asked 3 years ago, that had some brokerage names, but haven't found anything more recent.

@Maria VillamarI don't want to oversimplify it, but Pennsylvania allows a non-broker to own a real-estate brokerage as long as the brokerage can meet certain requirements (e.g. having a broker of record).

My day job is a commercial insurance broker (P&C) for a large multi-national brokerage.

Purchase 1% ownership and you have all rights to market the property and not run afoul of brokerage laws.

So I thought I would take this time to reflect on all that has happened since then.Before BP – I worked a 50+ hour a week corporate job and had 3 properties with plans to aggressively pay them off and in 15-20 years be able to quit my job and live off rent incomeAfter BP – I quit my job within 9 months of drinking the BP Kool-Aid and now have 30+ properties and 90+ units and I started my own real estate brokerage and website business and networking conference for investors.It has been a wild ride!
