I did it! I choose my dreams and goals, so now what?

Hello world!

I freakin did it! I quit my job, to focus on something more meaningful. I took on driving Lyft, so I could create the schedule I need to make my real estate investor lifestyle work. More about me? 

In my spare time I sing, dance and I love whale watching. I have 5 business ideas that involve real estate and giving back to the community, to decrease violence in cities I once lived like Chicago and DC. My first fix and flip just went under contract last week and is being inspected today. I am super stoke. I have over 11 years of marketing experience developing marketing campaigns with big brands like Verizon Wireless and Qualcomm, 6 years of event production experience and over 11 years as an entrepreneur and small business coach. So why am I reaching out? I need YOUR support on this venture. There's nothing like team work. I also I want to ensure that the money I make from my first flip, goes into another property that I can 1) live in and 2) pay my debt down and 3) utilize Airbnb to pay down the mortgage faster. 

I currently live in Studio City, California. I used to have my apartment on Airbnb and I got a ton of requests.  I need some guidance on where to go to obtain a home that I can fix up, move guests into and begin to generate positive cash flow. I've heard of going to auctions, looking for motivated sellers etc. I just found a house online that sold for something stupid low like $12k. I didn't think those homes were still out there. Any who, my overall goal is cashflow and to also retire my father. Any words of encouragement and or guidance would be great. If you are interested in working together, lets connect. 

Much Love, 

Stephanie B.
