Hi all,Just wanted to say hello to all and get myself motivated to engage some of the folks here.A little bit about me, I'm an engineer, have a family, live in NJ, and big DIY enthusiast. 

You're now part of a diverse group of real estate enthusiasts, investors, and professionals who are all about helping each other succeed.Don't hesitate to ask questions, share your experiences, and engage in discussions.

Always willing to connect with like-minded real estate enthusiasts.

It's fantastic to see the Bigger Pockets community growing with enthusiastic individuals eager to take the plunge into real estate investing.

He's a young gun and he does it all. 

I just wanted to take a moment to say hi to everyone who gets up and fights the good fight by striving to achieve the ultimate reward, getting a deal under contract. 

Is my debt to income to high and am I jumping the gun?

I consider myself an aspiring real estate investor.  My preference is buy & hold opportunities, but ultimately I'm open to all ideas.  Looking forward to learning from and hopefully contributing to this community.

Can't help but saying it looks like you're elephant hunting with a BB gun.
