Wanted: Looking to Shadow Someone in REI

[Tessa Henley]

Hi Everyone - Tessa here. I'm looking to align myself to my long term plan of becoming an investor. Financially, I'm not quite there yet (paying off student loans is still my primary goal), but I want to start learning as much as possible. I'm seeking someone in the Asheville area to shadow or be an extra set of hands so I can see how it's done. I'd like to surround myself with people doing what I want to be doing to speed the process.

I'm also interested in meeting with people NOT in Asheville as a way to learn. 

Please message me if you're open to something like this! I can serve as an assistant or support with data entry if that means a learning experience. 

Thank you!

Hey @Tessa Henley, Welcome to Asheville! (not sure how long you've been here?).  I believe attending local meetups will be your best bet.  I've found there isn't a strong BP community in Asheville on this forum like other markets for some reason.  We host a local meetup twice a month in Asheville.  One is in the morning on the 4th Wednesday (just happened this morning) and the other is in the evenings on the third Wednesday.  If you want to share your email, I'm happy to add you to the reminder list.  We also have a Slack Channel with over 80 members discussing Asheville related real estate.

You can look into CREIA as well.  Much larger group.

As a full time investor myself, I think it's hard to just plug someone into current systems or have someone let you shadow, but maybe you'll find that fit?  Doesn't hurt to put it out in the universe!

Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!
