New Investor from Baton Rouge, LA! Looking for 1st deal/partners

[Garrett Ellison]

Hey everyone! BiggerPockets has been HUGE in my REI education development over the past couple of months. I've been learning so much, and I love the community here. I also listen feel like I listen to the podcasts 24/7, haha. Thanks to Brandon Turner for awesome material!

My name is Garrett and I'm looking to start small and safe (Condos that cash flow, under $100k), and grow quickly. I have a burning in my chest to retire in the next 10 years. Open to any input from more experienced investors at any time! Here to learn. I want to start small and safe to obtain a solid on-ramp into REI, and to also help my wife to understand the many opportunities and pleasures that REI can bring.

Where I'm at: I'm currently looking for my first deal.  I feel like I have a really good CF evaluation tool that I use to quickly analyze properties.  I'm also low on capital, however, so I'm looking to partner with local trustworthy individuals that can provide the capital.  I'm young and I have the hustle and the grit to find good cash-flowing properties and handle everything from A-Z, save for a few questions here and there that I'll undoubtedly have.

Great to be here.  Thanks!
