Starting Out

[Justin Wiesehan]

Hello BP world! My name is Justin and I am just starting my adventure into real estate investing. I am an entrepreneur and am currently an owner in a small business focusing on retail (consumer packaged goods). Business has been good, but I want to start getting involved in real estate, mainly fix and flips. 

I recently finished my own basement, a 1700 square foot space, on my own. I became passionate about the work and sweat equity I knew I was putting into my basement. It made me realize I actually like renovating more than my day job. And, made me realize I can monetize my efforts. I hired a few contractors (plumbing, floor, and cabinet installation), but I did everything else. 

I don't have plans to quit my day job anytime soon, but it is always good to have a plan B.

I have been thinking about delving in, but want to start DOING! Most importantly, I want to start learning while I still have a steady paycheck to fall back on in case I get myself into a bad situation!

I would like to connect with anyone in the Charlotte area and just get beginner advice from the BP community. 

Thanks in advance to all! Happy investing!

Justin
