Leasing Agent From Gainesville, FL
Hi guys. So I'm currently a Leasing Agent for a property management company here in Gainesville, FL. Over the years I have tried all kinds of things to try and get out of the 9-5 J-O-B rat race. I have tried Internet Marketing, Pampered Chef, and even AVON...yes AVON...LOL.
I have looked at real estate investing before but I always thought that you had to have money and good credit to get started. Then I found this book at my library about wholesaling real estate that didn't require much if any money and it could happen in a matter of weeks. So I started researching more which lead me here to BP.
There is so much info here it seems a little overwhelming when you first get started here. I know that I want to learn more about wholesaling and flipping. I don't think I want to do rental properties because that's what i'm doing now in my current job and I would like to kind of steer away from having to deal with tenants.
I really want to be able to get out of debt. And since my wife and I separated last January I don't get to see my kids as often as I wish I could. They live in Nashville, TN which is about a 10 hour drive. I would love to just be able to fly more often cause its just faster.
As far as my real estate investing goals I would really like to find my first deal within the next few months. But I'm not really sure how to find deals yet. Or how to pair them up with cash buyers.
Well I think this post is long enough...LOL. Thank you guys and I look forward to meeting you.
