New Investor in Kentuckiana

James Reed

Hello BiggerPockets,

My name is James Reed and I am a real estate investor in the Kentuckiana area. I reside in New Albany, Indiana and believe my primary focus will be the Southern Indiana area. I currently have deals in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. I also work with a huge network of investors. I need a mentor, some money, and some deals.

On a serious note, I am 26 years old and currently have $5,000 to begin investing. I am partnering with a good friend of mine that will also be contributing $5k for a total of $10,000. We would like to begin with flipping houses to build our capital. We do have very good potential for private lenders through contacts that we have however we would prefer to have a deal or two under our belts before we begin trying to use other peoples money. I currently own a 3 bed 1 bath home in New Albany that I purchased for $33.5k plus $5k through a 203k loan back in 2011.

@Jaren Barnes was being sarcastic when he said that. If you read his second paragraph he starts "On a serious note...." meaning that everything said prior to that was just a joke.
