9 kids = 9 Reasons to Succeed

[Nate Hawkins]

Hello again BP world, we briefly met many years ago here is a getting to know you again. My name is Nate I just moved to Nampa Idaho, I'm a Journeyman Electrician studying for my Master's. I have 15 years of experience in construction and can pretty much fix anything (with enough duct tape 🤣)

I found this BP podcast a couple years ago when I was looking for something to learn while I work. I consumed 200 episodes very quickly listening at 1.5x then I listened again. Then I took some action by driving for dollars I sent out hand written letters and took phone calls (some very angry) after 7 letters to each homeowner (over a few months) I sent an actual contract offer to every person (interested or not). Several months went by and someone called me and I made a deal. I bought the massive pile of crap and sold it 3 days later for $9,000 more. Cool!

Life got in the way and I adopted a bunch of kids and I didn't do any more real estate for a few years until recently I've been interested again. I started listening to the BP podcasts again from episode 200 now I'm on 241 (I know I'm behind) and I'm itching to BRRRR something. I'm probably going to wholesale a few to build some capital since I'm pretty tight with 9 kids (feels like 9000 😂)

I use my family as motivation to push me forward not as an excuse to why I can't do it.

I'm looking to connect with some Boise folks and if I can help out electrically maybe you can show me some of your skills! maybe your wanting to invest in Boise and need me to look at a property for you, I can do that. Maybe you are afraid of spiders and want me to look under the house for you, let's do it!!

Bottom line I am willing to trade my skills and meet new people. If there's a Meetup I'm ready!

I look forward to getting to know you all.

@Jonna Weber and @StacyA McBain both have local meetups in Boise!  They're geared towards investors and offer huge opportunities to gain knowledge, ask questions, and network with other local investors.  I'm sure they'll chime in with more info :)

And welcome back to BP!
