Greeting from New Orleans, LA

Hello Bigger Pockets! We were introduced to this site about a year ago by another real estate investor. Since then, we’d visit and read a lot of the posting and they would come in very handy. After a while, the decision was made to join the group and be more involved in questions, answers or anything else that comes up when dealing with real estate.

Since Hurricane Katrina, our lives changed. Pre-Katrina, we planned on starting our real estate investment company and worked out a time line on acquiring several rental properties. Post Katrina, we’re glad we didn’t start at that time. Yet, given the current state of the Louisiana/Mississippi coastal area, we decided to take real estate investment head on.

Although we’re in New Orleans, we’re not limited to one area. We’ve started negotiating deal in Utah, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi Pennsylvania and Florida. If the numbers make sense for us, then we submit offers. Currently, we’re starting our company’s foundation through wholesale buying and selling. We chose to start off as wholesalers, because we’ve found it to be the fastest route to building capital.

In addition to wholesaling, we also consider lease options, short sales, rehabbing, probate, mobile homes tax liens and notes. Our future looks extremely bright and growing. We hope to be able to utilize Bigger Pockets as a means to learn, share information, network and grow as a company. We look forward to many interactions.
