Im a New Member from Orlando, Florida looking to learn in order to one day, take over the world :)
Hi everyone!
I’m Mike Edwards and I’ve spent the last month lurking the forums/blog and listening to the podcasts.
I'm a n00b from Orlando, Florida. Like many who are getting started, I have little personal investment capital but Im fascinated by wholesaling as a means to get into REI. I work 9-5 in advertising so there is an appeal to the marketing side of things.
My wife and I just had a baby boy (our first) and I’d like to ensure a better future where I can spend more quality time with my family and establish a legacy for generations to come. I have a construction background and have always been fascinated with real estate. I’d love to have an impact on my investments by being able to add value to a property in some manner. My current experience is limited to the purchase of my first home from back in the good ol’ days of 2010.
I’m looking to continue to learn, find some great mentors, develop a great buyers list and close on my very first investment deal.
For any out-of-state investors, I have a deep on-the-ground knowledge of the Central Florida & Orlando market. Im a native to the area and have lived here for close to 30 years. Im looking to learn everything I can and I would be happy to lend my knowledge of the area to anyone who would be willing to take me under their wing.
Thanks for being awesome!
