New Investor in Mesa, Arizona

[Keawe Enos]

Hey BP!

Excited to be here! I am a new investor from Mesa, Arizona. I have actually been a member now for about a year and a half, and sadly enough this is my first post. But I can't wait to be more involved and make great connections moving forward. For the past year and a half since joining I have gotten bit by the real estate bug hard, and have been listening to the podcasts, joining the webinars, reading books, and pretty much absorbing anything real estate related that I could get my hands on. I believe that this learning time has been extremely valuable, however there is no doubt I entered into a serious state of analysis paralysis during that time. However, that is all behind me and I am taking the plunge! I know I could learn and plan forever, but it's time to take action.

I've decided to get started with wholesaling, as I feel it is what best suits my personal skill set and past experience. I'm excited to say we will be sending out our first set of about 1,000 mailers this week! And I have made a commitment to continue our direct mail at that rate for at least 6 months so I can clearer idea of it's success before I make changes. I have partnered with my two brothers as well and we will be sharing the load in terms of answering calls and talking with sellers, etc. I will save the specific details of our strategy for the wholesaling forum, but we can't wait to get rolling.

I also love the idea of buy and hold investing, specifically larger multi family, and my long-term goal is to build a rental portfolio that can eventually provide financial freedom for our family. I have saved up a decent amount of money, so if the right deal came a long I would begin buying rentals now, but for the most part due to current market conditions and other factors, I've decided that our cash can best be used by being put into marketing and building our wholesaling business.

I look forward to connecting with many on here both in my area here in Arizona, and just on the site in general. I have already learned so much from many on here, and I hope as I learn and share my experiences I can begin to give back!
