[Caleb Gibbs]

Hello to all! My name is Caleb Gibbs and I'm brand new to real estate investing. I'm 31 years old and I have a wife and 4 beautiful children. I am from Rutherford County Tennessee and my background is in pharmacy management, marketing, and business system development. My hobbies are anything and everything related to building and construction! I'm so excited, and I can't wait to do my first deal! I've been listening to as many podcasts as possible and and I am super pumped! These are my goals . . .

1. I WILL buy and hold 2 properties before 2016 ends.

2. I WILL buy and hold 5 additional properties every year going forward.

3. On October 31st, 2019 (my wife's birthday), I WILL have acquired 15 properties, each generating $500/month net income. 

4. I WILL attend every possible networking event and surround myself with people smarter and more successful than I. 

5. When the day comes that others start looking to me for advice and guidance, I will NOT become arrogant. I WILL share my knowledge with them. I WILL show kindness and walk with them until they're ready to run on their own.

Thanks for everything bigger pockets community!

Hello Caleb,

Welcome to the BP community!!! All I have to say is WOW!! You got some awesome goals and I am sure with the attitude you have you will achieve them! I just have a few questions and hopefully, these will help you narrow your goals down even more!

Are you looking for single-family, multifamily, commercial, or apartment investments? 

How do you plan on finding the type of property you are interested in? 

What is your target market or markets? 

Do you plan on being a DIY investor or hiring a property management company / manager? 

Once you find a property, do you plan on purchasing it with cash or financing it? If you plan on financing make sure you find a reputable lender. 

I hope this helps and happy investing,

- Matt
