Investors located in Iowa
Hello everyone my name is Elmar Deshae and I'm 22 located in SE Iowa. I am brand new to real estate and am currently pursuing the wholesale strategy to build my cash reserves so that I can fund my own deals in the future. My first step is paying off my student loans which is only $7K and then I will buy my first investment which will be a Multifamily unit that I can "House Hack" .My overall goal is to not only own a great deals of rentals but to one day develop my own projects. As a kid I was always fascinated by real estate but it wasn't until last year when I read "Rich Dad Poor Dad" that I learned the benefits of owning assets like Real Estate. I would love to connect with like minded individuals not only located in Iowa but anyone who has helpful information for my Journey! I would love to hear other people's story of how they got started and what are your overall goals?

Hey! I'm a 24 year old investor from the Cedar Rapids area. If you ever make it up this way let me know and I can put you in touch with some people. I do not have much knowledge of the wholesaling game or what it's potential is in CR, but if you want to talk rentals let me know.
