Looking for Out of State BRRRR Opp.
Hello,
My name is Sam, and I work as a lighting project manager. My company is a lighting distributor (material supplier) for commercial and high-end residential projects.
The projects I manage vary from $10,000 to $350,000, and I help supply lighting fixtures and controls (from simple dimming switches to fully automated systems).
Currently, my wife and I are finalizing our HELOC docs, and we are looking to invest in out-of-state rental properties (we are in Southern California).
I’ve been browsing Phoenix and Jacksonville areas so far, and I am open to other marketplaces if the numbers make sense.
I am profusely reading books and listening to podcasts to prepare myself to find and close my first deal, and I signed up to attend the Real Estate Rookie Bootcamp Weekend.
Hopefully I will get to meet and network with fine folks who share similar goals and values, and I look forward to connecting with y’all on this forum!
