All over the map! Help?!

Hello All from Georgia,

My partner Nancy and I have started with a monster plunge in our first year of real estate investment.  We collected 3 rental units, flipped a house, currently have 3 properties that we're flipping and have 3 others under contract that we're either flipping or renting.  Included in all this is an AHA Section 8 house that keeps me up at night excited about the future, because the thing cash flows ridiculously well. 

All that said, I feel like our excitement for doing what we're doing has resulted in a splatter approach that's all over the map. From fix and flip to pure rentals to section 8 to BRRR. I'd like to connect with successful investors from Atlanta to talk about these things.

Please reply back and let's get to know each other!

Thanks All!

Ben

@Benjamin Owens I think everyone starts off all over the map until they find more of their niche, I know I did.  When I started my plan was to purchase 1-2 properties per year, keep one as a rental and flip a second to keep building capital.  I ended up purchasing 8 properties my first year and was all over the place also.  By years end, I found my niche and totally changed my original approach to fit what worked best for me.  There's nothing wrong with having multiple approach, everyone's situation is different.  Good luck!!
