[Duncan McGehee]

My name is Duncan McGehee. I reside in Jackson, MS and am a tax accountant (working on the CPA). Ironically, I love talking and meeting new people and building relationships. I've always enjoyed the idea of getting into real estate and now have some spare change to work with. I want to learn as much as possible about all areas, and eventually I will find what fits my needs/wants whether it's flipping, buy-hold, etc. I thought I would join this site, because it seems that there are thousands of people like me with a lot more knowledge that I can learn from or possibly even go into business with. I wouldn't even mind becoming a silent partner with someone in my area or even developing an LLC. Other than that, I look forward to the relationships I will build and learn as much as I can while I can!

Hello Duncan

I moved to Ridgeland in 2013 and have recently started aggressively searching for houses in this area. My wife and I actually cruised neighborhoods in Madison "the city" yesterday after work. I developed a formula that works really well in west Mobile, AL and I am going to see if it works here. I have found a local realtor and property manager that I am beginning with, and now all that I need is a house.  My suggestion to you is to dive into bigger pockets, and all of the real estate videos that you can find on youtube to learn a lot, and then you simply have to jump in . Even the mistakes that you make are very helpful. I know I'm telling you things that you already know. I'm telling myself as much as I am telling you because I have been on BP for only a little over a week now. Because of Susan Maneck's post, I am now going to look into south Jackson too. I hope our paths cross and we can share our ideas soon. Good luck!
