Columbia, MO Real Estate Opportunities

[Dillon Thomas]

I've been a renter for too long and lately I've been getting pulled in to BiggerPockets to look at how much potential there is in real estate.  Why have I not bought real estate yet!?  My name is Dillon and I am looking for any any every possibility to get started in real estate within the Columbia, Missouri market.

I have a couple of potential investors interested in where my path may be headed.  Ill talk about that a little later.  Right now I want to engage in any partnership opportunities that may be possible.  If you're another investor starting off, we might be able to form a contract on two duplexes.  If three or four or FIVE investors want to get in, we might be able to form an agreement for a (5) duplex portfolio that's currently open at a discounted rate.

I want to get in this for the long haul, starting with owning my own duplex, and fulling the BRRRR strategy where I would live and rehab one side while the other is being rented. Then rent out my half, refinance, and REPEAT. My goal is to own 10 units by the end of 2019, and someday invest in multifamily apartments. Short goal is to build up equity, take out a HELOC and put down on more and more units. By partnering up with local investors, lenders, property managers, contractors, wholesalers, web designers, escrow services, etc. I have high hopes and aspiring dreams to turn this into a profitable business some day.

Please, if you're in the area, reach out to me for possible opportunities as I would like to help in any way I can.  Or if you're outside the area, also feel free to reach out and perhaps we can grow together and share problems, profits, or concerns.  I'm not trying to advertise for lenders here, just looking to know who's involved in the market and hope to make friends within the community.
