Newbie/buy & hold.
Hello BP Fam.
I'm so excited to share with y'all that I mentored a friend of mine, who wanted to get in real estate investing. We started the journey last year Sept 2023.
The deal closed mid November, after a 2 months journey to find the perfect property (price/Cash Flow/appreciate) and closed on it.
Made her aware the holidays isn't the time for renters to move, however, once W2 taxes were issued in January 2024 she would get a tenant.
She is officially a landlord!

Thank you so much!
I'm very proud of myself, this was my frist time mentioning and negotiating on behalf of my friend who wanted to step in my world of REI.
