Hi All,

My name is Keaton Roberson. I'm currently living in McDonough, GA (right south of Atlanta) and working as a financial analyst in Atlanta looking to become a sponge in the community and learn as much as possible about real estate. I am a recent grad from Georgia Southern University with a degree in Finance and a minor in Entrepreneurship/ Small Business Management. 

I've been passionate about real estate my entire life and hope to one day work full time in the industry. I passed on going into real estate right out of college for the steady income of a 9-5 to pay off my student loans and set my financial foundation in place to allow me to become the investor I hope to be. Now I am excited to begin my learning process with the professionals on this site. 

Ideally, I would love to learn from a seasoned professional in the Atlanta market who truly has the heart of a teacher and who believes that our partnership could be of mutual benefit. Like I mentioned earlier, I desire to be a sponge and learn as much as possible and I plan to do this by whatever means necessary to help my mentor succeed so that in turn I can have endless learning opportunities.

My experience in real estate is limited but I have spent time interning with a local property management firm during college. My goals, like many on this site, are to begin flipping houses initially to raise enough capital for long-term hold investments with steady income from rent. I am a little unique in that I truly desire to perform majority of the renovation work myself and make this my full time occupation. So I would love to be hands on and learn that process as well. 

I look forward to meeting you all and please reach out with questions you have, or if you would like to know more about me! 

Thank you all in Advance!

Keaton
