Buy and hold Southeast Louisiana

Ryan Montelepre

Hello everyone! New BP member. Not pro just yet. I am from Slidell, La. Currently interested in beginning my adventure into buy and hold real estate. I'd like to focus on multifamily housing. I am a home owner with a little bit of equity. Not quite 20%. I also have access to my 401k which I have basically saved to use as the starting platform for my investing. 

I havent made too many connections just yet, looking to develop some in my area. I do have access to many resources. My father has been in the lending and banking Industry for 40 years. He has plenty of friends that I may be able to tap into. ;) 

I am also looking to meet people who are landlords or are already in the apartment, and multifamily side of things. I'd love to have some discussions and learn a bit more so I can make my first move.

I am an electrician by trade, and I am a great communicator. I have done a lot of work in managing people. Though, I have never been a landlord per say, I feel this is a great fit for me. I would love to figure out how I can help others achieve their goals as well. If that means doing some partnering or even looking into some work for them. 

My goal is to develop a supplement income to my current occupation. I'm open to criticism and I dont frighten easily. Please, let me know if we can I tract and develop some business relations!

Thank BP!
