Networking with Investors & Lenders
Hi All, My name is Shaleaha, I’ve been studying Real Estate since February of 2022, and enrolled to a paid mentorship. I’ve also read books such as Think and grow rich, The Millionaire Next Door & Rich dad poor dad which then inspired me to start my own business to gain financial freedom and build great relationships with other people. I am also new to this incredible resource Bigger Pockets Community. More importantly, I am looking to start networking with investors, investor friendly real estate agents and attend networking events to enhance my portfolio. My goal is to invest in fix and flips to build a rental portfolio and/or buy property to perform a complete renovation and put it back on the market within 6 months. I’ve learned while being mentored, in order to thrive successfully in my goals, it’s all about networking and solid connections. I’ve written out a Business Plan for 2023 to make sure I am staying focused and aligned with the core values of planning, finding deals, analyzing the deal, get funding and staying motivated. I would love for a seasoned investor/lender to review it and give thoughts and/or recommendations. Thank you for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Shaleaha! Congratulations on all your hard work; you inspired me to read The Millionaire Next door and create a business plan for 2023. I am new to the real estate industry as a recent college graduate beginning a career in loan origination. I would love to connect with you and learn from each other! Good luck with building your rental portfolio!
