Know-nothin' Kid from Lexington, KY

[Erik Mogan]

Hi! My name is Erik and I am a personal banker in Lexington, KY. I was born and raised in Lexington, lived a little in the surrounding counties, and spent some time in WA before coming back to the Bluegrass a few years ago. I have no hands-on experience in REI, and short of helping with a remodel of my parents-in-law's house a couple of years ago, I don't have any experience in renovations, but I'm excited for the learning opportunities my shortcomings in both areas will bring.

I came to BP through a Google search of "best financial podcasts," and after listening to "SHOW! 202," I was hooked. BP made me realize that the people I see on DIY and HGTV aren't the real people doing this; those are celebrities who, while clearly talented, had years and years of work and practice to make what they do look easy, and that I can get there one day.

I plan to buy and flip my first property in the next two years, after which I will continue flipping/selling until I can buy a rental property for cash, repeating the process until I am comfortable.

I look forward to meeting all the REIs in Lexington and the surrounding areas! I plan on joining the Bluegrass Real Estate Investment Group as soon as I can muster up the courage to show up and say, "I don't know anything, can I just watch from the corner?"
