Hello All! Looking to Build My Network

[Alexander L Gulledge]

Hi All,

I'm really passionate about building my real estate business and there's a lot I need to learn about. I'm looking for anyone who would be willing to share their advice / experiences and make a friend. I'm about to turn 40, a working professional with a Ph.D. and I make 6 figures. Overall, I think the corporate life is not for me and I will be putting in the work to build my desired financial freedom through real estate. I have 1 rental property now, I've had it for about 3.5 yrs and it's doing very well. I had another but sold it to free up some capital and improve my personal debt position. That's about the extent of my experience with real estate.  -- I'm currently taking a property management course to learn how to self-manage my current property and future properties going forward. I grew up blue collar and my dad was a contractor, so I'm very much a DIY guy and think I can reasonably handle property management. 

Ultimately, my dream is to achieve financial independence and free myself from a 9-5, build generational wealth and allow myself more time with my little ones. I have 2 and they are a huge motivator for me. I have my rental in my LLC, and a basic group of folks I'd consider to be my team as things begin to get real. I know a few agents, a few contractors, and a real estate attorney, but need to build a relationship with a good lender who can do competitive DSCR and rehab loans. Who else do I need on my team? What are the best ways to leverage myself to get the next property and grow my portfolio (i have some options but not sure which is best)? I have so many questions!

Anyways, thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and if you're open to connecting here and having a chat, please reach out or send me a connection request.  I'm in South Carolina. 

Best Regards,

Alex
