A shout out from the 'burgh

[Erica Payne]

As of April 2016, I am new to this game. I currently am a social worker, working with families throughout 2 counties in western PA. I love my job, but can't stand the paycheck! That's why I'm excited to start in real estate. I can actually keep my job but make a little extra on the side! More importantly, I am learning something really different than I'm used to, and I absolutely love it!

I have some big goals to help non traditional mortgage families and professionals obtain their own home. Everyone deserves safe, clean housing a and a real opportunity to own their own home. (Does that sound like probable market expansion?)

That's in the 5 year plan. First I have to gain some capital and establish my brand. I am starting with wholesales and moving to rehabs. I will probably throw in a couple other passive income deals since they all sound fun. I am willing to do anything once just to learn the procedure. I don't intend to limit my work to Pennsylvania exclusively, though it's a great place to start!

The best part about this business is it's a team effort. That excites me since I'm used to working in team environments and I don't feel like I'm alone in this. I can't wait to hear about you. What made you choose this field? What were you doing before this? Or while doing this? What are your dreams? How can I help you accomplish them? 

How long have you been doing this, and what are your thoughts on my plans? Do they seem plausible?

Thank you for taking some time out of your busy day to get to know me a little. I hope I get a chance to get to know you and work with you and build  valuable, long lasting friendships. Enjoy.
