SFR landlord and occasional flipper in Scottsdale
Hi.
I first got into real estate by being sold a blue ribbon deal on a Go-Zone property in Alabama in 2008. It's been a solid money loser ever since and I wish I had BP back then. I took a business trip to Phoenix in 2009 and was shocked to see how each real estate was. I started buying and my partner and I set the goal to get 20 rental properties. We completed this goal in 2012.
I also did some flipping and made some extra money on that. I also used my ROTH IRA to purchase some real estate in South Euclid Ohio.
I am currently looking to sell off a good portion of my SFR rental portfolio via lease options and keep doing flips until I find the next big deal.
