Looking to connect!
Hello! My name is Justin Mason, and this is my first time posting here. I've been actively involved in real estate investing and recently acquired my first property, a single-family home. I've also been closely following the many insightful posts and discussions on this platform. The collective knowledge and collaboration here is truly remarkable.
Today, I'm reaching out to connect with fellow investors to exchange experiences, insights, and possibly collaborate on future endeavors. Whether you've been in the game for years or are just starting your journey, I'm convinced that there's so much we can learn from each other.
A bit about myself:
- Location: St. Louis, southern Illinois and Minneapolis
- Investment Interests: Multifamily and buy and hold
- Current Portfolio: single-family home in Cahokia Heights, IL
I'm especially interested in exploring creative financing methods and strategies for scaling a portfolio. If you've had success or challenges in these areas, I'd love to hear your insights.
If you're open to connecting, please leave a comment below or send me a private message.
Thank you for taking a moment to read my post.
Thank You,
Justin Mason

Hi Justin,
I am just starting out in the STL area. I'm looking to get a few fix and flips under my belt to build capital then transition to the BRRRR method. I'm having a tough time finding the deal, but I've only been at it for about a month. I am learning a ton though - through experience and through BP. Good luck. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
