Shreveport, LA Investor!

[Adam Avinger]

Hello everyone! My wife and I just purchased our first investment property. Were very excited about it, and a TON of learning and pre-preparation has gone into this deal. Currently, we got into the home for 120,000 and just had the appraisal come back at 215,000 ARV. Our estimated rehab costs at this point are 25,000. Don't know yet exactly if were going to Buy/Hold or Buy/Flip.

I would love it of some local investors would possibly reach out, and maybe we can get together for some lunch and see how we may be able to help each other with future deals! Im not gonna lie here, i'm definitely still looking to learn things, as new as we are to this. But Id love to help you find some deals, help you with somehow with your current stuff however i can. 

Looking forward to meeting ya!

Hey @Adam Avinger, congrats on pulling the trigger on your first deal! The numbers sounds awesome! If you need any help or advice along the way, feel free to reach out to me or the tons of other awesome local investors. 

We actually have a couple of investor groups that get together monthly. RE360 is a great social group that gets together for networking the third Thursday of every month at Zocolo's in Shreveport. I usually send out the info for the meet-up, so if you'd be interested, I'd be happy to tag you in the post when the date gets a little closer. 

The other group is SBREIA (Shreveport Bossier Real Estate Investor's Association), it is an educational meet-up that gets together the third Monday of every month at Picadilly's in St. Vincent Mall. There are awesome speakers that come talk on different topics to help grow and educate you in your real estate ventures.

We'd love for you and your wife to come hang out and meet the other investors in town. If you have any questions, hit me up.
