RE Introduction: Looking to start of the new year with a bang!

[Brett Iwanowicz]

I was not completely sure which forum to start this thread.....

December is always a month of self reflection and goal planning, it is apparent to me that I need to step outside of my bubble and continue to develop and build new relationships and partnerships in order to grow.  It is a desire of mine to continue to educate myself, I am looking for someone local who may be looking to partner or even hire a GC on any renovations, and or flips.  I have have successfully renovated about a dozen home, some flips, mostly buy and hold for investors.. My hopes would be to link with someone and further acquire knowledge and skills to help build my own portfolio..  

So what do I have to bring to the table....

1. Over 10 years in property management, currently own and operate a referral only management operation.  Just recently I have been able to acquire a four unit and 6 unit, 2 commercial spaces, some homes have not been included on my website at this time.

2. I operate a full time painting company with over 10 years of experience, only working in high end homes, I can bring these skills into any project and provide a superior finish on all projects at a discounted price.

3. I have a full time employee who I have been mentoring and training to hopefully help maintain my units and use as a contractor.

4. I have an open bid room at all time at HD, and also get tiered pricing up to 20% off at any given time.

5. I may be willing to give up a pretty good salary to acquire knowledge and develop relationships, within a partnership and/or any other opportunity.  I am not looking for someone to place me in a position to figure things out, or get things done.  I this process I am also hoping to find somewhat of a mentor.

6. I am keen on trends, including design, market trents, rents, decorating, renovations to maximize profitability.

7. Of my 3 properties invested I have over $80,000 in equity that I am hoping to be able to utilize this upcoming year.  In each of my homes I have been able to increase rents by more than 30%.  I have been able to help an investor do the same, last year we brought rents up from $750 to $1200 per unit in the upper monroe area, with only st. parking.

8. I dont know if it matters but I am local, graduating from AQ , and St. John Fisher with a concentration in HR.

I am happy to share progress on my latest investment including pictures. I would love to focus on SFR, and/or Multi families, duplexes. Feel free to reach out, I hope to talk to some of you soon!
