Reintroduction, Contractors, Advice, ATL Meetup

[Asia Jones]

Hello BP world I want to start by reintroducing myself, my name is Asia. I go into the whole real estate thing while I was in college. It all started after one semester we had to get this book called Rich Dad Poor Dad, and from there I knew real estate is what I wanted to do. After getting the itch I began doing tons of research. I stumbled across a webpage call “Real estate in your twenties” by Brandon Turner. I read all his post and studied them religiously. Then he made a post about moving to a site called “Bigger Pockets”. The site was a wealth of Knowledge and I was glad I found it before I paid for another Rich dad Poor dad class.

So now I wanted to get my first property but couldn’t afford it. I learned about house hacking and still didn’t have a steady flow of income. That’s when I asked myself how could I get this house. Then I stated working multiple jobs for a few years to get out of debt and save a DP. Once I was out of debt I get stuck in this thing called analysis paralysis. After 3 years of learning and being scared to make the first move I finally got my first property in April 2016. It’s a nice 3/2 in Lawrenceville, Ga. I'm currently living in it renting two of the rooms out until I refi and move mid 2017. Only thing that needs to be done to it is some minor updating and making it more modern.

With that being said I need to know if anyone knows of any contractors in the Gwinnett County area that can do electric, drywall, bathroom remodel, and flooring. Please let me know thank you. Also are there any BP meetups in the Atlanta area or good a local REIA?
