Hello BP Community,

(Not really a new member intro) 

Last week I finally made the leap to quit my full time engineering job and become a full time real estate investor in the Lexington Kentucky area. Right out of college started working as a process engineer at the Toyota Manufacturing plant in Kentucky and I was working some absolutely crazy hours then there, around 85hr weeks 6 days a week on average (BRUTAL) so I had no life. When not at work I continued to read and live frugally (mainly to pay student loans) then I found Rich Dad books, started listening to BP, researched real estate and started attending meetups in Kentucky I realized this was the way out of the rat race. Long story short I wanted to do this full time.

TODAY- I own my first home (BRRRR strategy), I am no longer working as an engineer (quit last week) and made the decision to become a FULL TIME INVESTOR in Lexington and Georgetown Kentucky.

                     What I'm looking for are people in the area who are...

A. Needing a partner/ mentee for their wholesaling business, so the business can grow and they and teach and I can learn.

B. House flippers needing deals in a certain area who need boots on the ground to search for off market deals. 

C. Investors looking for buy and holds at a reasonable price with not much work to make rent ready. 

I know how to work hard, I know to be organized (to an extent), I have experience building a company and I'm diving into this thing head first with not much life support but I believe that's what it takes. I think one should enter action with boldness and put yourself in some hemmed in ground because you will force yourself to be successful!!

Looking forward to meeting some new people!
