Reintroduction

Good day! Allow me to reintroduce myself: Rickey Wallace, former (but soon to be relicensed) real estate agent n aspiring part or full time (haven't decided yet) investor. I'm not necessarily new to BP but I have been FAR from active lol. I've mostly been an information gathering ninja here, even as of current, but after watching about 2 dozen or so podcasts, one of the reoccurring themes stated is to become one w/ the community n to mingle w/ an empty Heineken in hand (which I hadn't drank) that I will fill up w/ water later.  So, let's dip that toe in the water..!

After attending my local REI so I can better gain knowledge on which way to draw my road map for successful RE investment, I stumbled across the dirty little secret known as BP, thankfully. New job came along shortly thereafter, which ended my ability to attend said group (initially killing my RE investor motivation), but my ability to invest grew dramatically n my RE plans altered, for the better 😵😵

Now, the meat of it all: I will b focusing most of my attention in Pennsylvania, majority Lancaster county. I have a few connections in Berks, Chester, n York counties, n some Delaware but those options might be considered later down the line. Currently, in a newly acquired short sale purchased property that has HELOC options once fully rehabbed, if that route is taken. Dumped most of savings into all of that fun jazz n am currently saving up and getting ready for when the next opportunity happens. Unlike most newcomers, my 10 year plan doesn't revolve around flipping n wholesaling. Not opposed to either but focused on rehab n hold, 1-4 units, w/ leveraging, to increase the portfolio, maintaining my full time to secure loans easier. If a deal screams wholesale or flip, best believe I'll hire a translator to learn what money is trying to say lol

Thank u for your time. I will try my best to stay as an active helper on BP, giving information, not opinions, as I am able to. If u made it this far, go n have urself a big ole cookie, on me, cuz u earned it 😄

Hey, thanks! I've heard some commotion about those types of deals back when I was attending my local REI but I haven't taken the steps to further pry into that information yet. Thanks for the reminder, sir!
