New Investor looking to make connections
Hi everyone,
My name is Shane Moore and I have started a real estate investment LLC here in central Georgia. I am just starting out in the industry so I am looking to make connections with other investors in hope that we may learn from one another. I am striving to become a buy and hold investor through the BRRRR strategy and Creative finance opportunities. I am striving to purchase rental/lease properties within a 1 hour drive. I currently live In Pike County Georgia. I am looking to invest in the following counties to start with; Henry, Pike, Spalding, Coweta, Upson, and Lamar counties. My goal is to purchase 5-10 properties in 2025. I look forward to connecting with some you.
Any advice that you would give to an investor who is just starting out would be greatly appreciated. I am open to listen and learn. Thank you in advance for sharing your wisdom and insight.
Peace and Blessings,
Shane

Hey Shane, welcome to the real estate investing community! Starting with BRRRRs and creative financing is a fantastic way to build your portfolio, especially within the local counties you’ve outlined. My advice would be to focus on networking with experienced investors, contractors, and lenders in your area, as building a strong team is key to scaling efficiently. 5 -10 properties is a great goal!
