What's going on everybody? Excited to plug into the community here and learn! My name is Justin Rodgers, I'm 25, and I'm brand new into this real estate game. I've studied it for awhile but became one of those people who never took action (until now). I'm wanting to get into wholesaling and co-wholesaling at the moment. (Anyone who wants to partner up let's connect!) As my experience increases I would like to progress into some different investment strategies but I see co-wholesaling as a great entry level investment path for me right now. My family and I are currently living in Birmingham, AL right now but will be moving back home to North Carolina this summer, specifically Durham (so if you're in the triangle let's also connect!) I feel like I'm at a point in my life where creating a lifestyle of financial freedom for my family and I is NOW or never. I've finally stopped overthinking things and I've dedicated this year to taking massive action, not only as an investor, but as an artist and entrepreneur as well. Hopefully BP can help be that extra push!

    This was totally me! I had analysis paralysis for months! So I said forget this. I better start now. I started thinking about my life 20 years from now and I realized I do NOT want to be stuck in a mediocre lifestyle. I'm the typical "girl with big dreams" and want a lavish lifestyle and to be able to handle anything that comes up financially without a second thought. Congratulations on making a big jump to go after what you want.

    Tiffani Crenshaw Hey Tiffani! I'm actually JUST starting off this week, so I'm brand new into this. I've already connected with some cash buyers and I'm looking to partner with local wholesalers.

    Fe Kelly EXACTLY, Paralysis by analysis. I'm good at finding ways to complicate something and delaying the process instead of just jumping in and doing it. Not anymore though...

    @Justin Rodgers

    Welcome to BP! I salute you for deciding to get off your BUT and take action instead of watching from the sidelines. As important as it is to educate yourself first, there comes a time when you just gotta get into the game and make some plays! 

    I live in Durham and am always down to meet with a fellow BP member. We do a meetup for members here (almost) every month on the last Thursday so make sure to set up your Keyword Alerts and you'll receive an email notification when the details are posted.

    Michael Jobe Perfect. Once we make our move this summer, count me in. What's your background?

    @Justin Rodgers

    My educational background is in hospitality management & culinary arts but after nearly a decade of being that business I transitioned over to real estate. My father owned a roofing company for 30 years and when he passed away in '08 I ran it for a little over a year before closing shop and moving down to south FL. I'm a licensed agent there as well as NC and am in the process of finishing up my first flip in the N. Raleigh area so keep me in mind once you get your first wholesale deal under contract.
