Memphis Made Newbie Ready to Learn and Grow

[Account Closed]

Hello Bigger Pockets Members,

I'm really excited to get started here and not only change my life through real estate investing but more importantly, improve the standard of living of others here in Memphis and beyond.

About Me:

I currently work as an SEO consultant for an ad agency in Memphis full time. When I'm not optimizing websites, I'm reading or listening to audio books on real estate investing constantly. I really got inspired by Brandon Turner's book: "The Book On Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" and The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump. I'm currently working on assembling a great team here in Memphis ( CPA, lawyer, realtor, contractors...etc)

Why I'm Investing in Real Estate:

I see real estate providing me the opportunity to achieve financial freedom and the time to focus on helping others achieve their goals outside the 9-5 sheep farm. I also like to travel and cook which gets expensive.

My Initial Strategy

Master my local market, Cordova TN. Initial invest in distressed single family homes under 200K with intent to buy and hold here in memphis, specifically focusing on the Cordova-Appling area

My Goals for 2016:

• Acquire at least rental properties by the close of 2016. One of them being my first home.
• Generate at least $750/month in cash flow.

Looking forward to learning a ton, making lasting relationships and give back to the community.

Cheers,

Michael
