Venice Florida Based Real Estate Investment Newbie Saying Hello

[Tristan Wheelock]

Hi Everyone!

My name is Tristan Wheelock. I'm based in Sarasota County Florida and am excited to enter the world of investment real estate. 

I'm heavily involved in the stock market currently and am looking to diversify my assets. 

I'm forming an LLC with my brother who has five years of real estate experience as a commercial property manager and owner of his own rental properties.

We plan on using a buy and hold strategy to acquire multiunits.

Thus far we have met with a property manger, a loan officer and a home inspector and have acquired a realtor. We checked out our first triplex yesterday.

I've been voraciously reading everything I can on bigger pockets and beyond and have begun using the tools I've found to analyze properties. I ordered a copy of "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cashflow." I'm open to any suggestions you fine folks have for a newbie. 

I'm looking forward to gaining more knowledge and feedback through this community and contributing what I can. 

Cheers!

T
