Indiana Multifamily Investor With Big Goals

Hey everyone,

I have yet to officially introduce myself...so here I am. My name is Aaron Van Curen and I am currently a student at Purdue University studying Marketing (3 semesters left). I was an electrician for two years during high school, I was a Product Manager / Sales Rep. / (am) Social Media Manager for my father's company (E-Collar Tech.). I still work with him and will be doing marketing for a mobile app gaming company he is starting (unsure of how that will play out). So about real estate...I got involved in a MLM (Fitness Industry) in May of 2016 and got introduced to Grant Cardone's material and fell in love with real estate and started studying everything I could which lead me to BP. So far I finished all of GC books and almost done with all of BP books. I read countless blog posts everyday from BP and some other sources as needed. Currently my goal is to own 1,000 units of RE by time I am 30 years old and to earn an average ROI of 12% on my portfolio with the help of BP and Grant, whom I will be meeting with next month. As for my first investment, I am trying to stay close to where I am (West Lafayette) and have actually found a nice 7 unit apartment complex which has had a 100% occupancy rate for the past decade because of Purdue students. Looking to close on it within 90-days (hopefully sooner than later) IF the numbers work. Will be working hard in the upcoming weeks to do a thorough analysis, get inspections done, and gain funding for the project. So this is where I am...would love to here any advice as I am still a newbie and get to know more of you here on BP!!

Thanks for reading!
