Orlando FL - New member

[Leo Koo]

Hello BP community. New member, Leo Koo, in the Orlando FL area starting a real estate investment business in order to build wealth and establish passive income on a long term basis. Would love to meet some Bigger Pockets contributors as I learn more about this business.

I am a CPA by trade and not new to investing per se - my full time job is working for a private equity lender to lower middle market companies (debt + equity). Although, real estate investing will be on a part time basis in the beginning, my business partner and I are extremely focused on execution. His background is as a strong marketer, Florida GC and founder of an obstacle race event called Savage Race. We've known each other for years and have done business before.

We started by executing a direct mail yellow letter strategy to ~1,000 absentee owners a couple of days ago and got our first call yesterday. We plan to conduct this campaign for the next 6 months to those leads, while layering on a couple more marketing campaigns.

FYI - I plan to attend and join the local REIA meetings. Let me know if any of you attend the Orlando ones, would love to make some connections.

Leo
