Just getting going

[Trey McGovern]

Hi Everyone, 

My name is Trey McGovern and I am a relatively new Real Estate Broker in Eastern North Carolina. I recently underwent a major career change and decided to become involved in buying and selling real estate. I had some minor experience watching my father buy and rent lower end houses and apartments the last few years and I saw the cash flow opportunity and thought that since I love houses and my local area so much that I should pursue a career in doing the things that interested me. 

I come from a background of family owned businesses and an environment of very entrepreneurial type people in my family. That trait has been passed on to me, and through that discovery I was able to open a beauty salon with my wife, an internet based collectibles business, and now beginning to invest in real estate while simultaneously working as an agent for Keller-Williams. 

I started the process of licensing last fall with weekend classes, started my career with KW on January 4th and have been immersed ever since. Throughout that process and trying to satiate my thirst for knowledge, I stumbled upon Bigger Pockets and really started to fill in the gaps for my personal business unrelated to the sales side. 

I already had an LLC formed from a couple years back as I had a twinkling in my eye back then, never realizing that it would manifest now. In fact, I had let it dissolve and was ready to just forget about it when everything started to come together.

In the subsequent few weeks since being hired and utilizing the ideas I learned here from BP (mainly the podcast for me), I was able to make a move to purchase the other half of a duplex apartment I owned and to actually have the property completely in my name. This allowed me to begin leveraging, and I just closed on my second property today, and signed my contract for a third to close within 3 weeks. 

I absolutely I do not believe that things would have come together this quickly for me if it wasnt for BP, and I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say thanks a million. The wealth of knowledge here is incredible. It took hearing things from here to realize that I already had most of the people in place to get me started, I just needed to be educated on how the process worked a bit more before I was confident enough to make the first move. 

It really does feel good to know you are moving in the right direction and have such a great support network behind you . 

Thanks again for all the knowledge guys, oh and 'Hey' by the way, since I dont think ive ever really posted an introduction.
