New BP member in Atlanta looking to network!

[Sean O'Connor]

Hello BiggerPockets! My name is Sean O'Connor and I'm a 28 year old aspiring investor from Atlanta with hopes of having at least 100 plus units by the end of next year. I am looking to network with investors, contractors, wholesalers, real estate agents, mortgage lenders and potential partners. I would also love to partner with a developer to create APIs/ data scrapers of real estate data to better automate finding and filtering leads. I am focusing the majority of my efforts in Georgia until I have built a foundation and system I can reference for when I start moving into real estate markets in other states. I am great at analyzing deals through proven methods and strategies. I would also like to mention that my father is a CPA with his own accounting firm so if any of you would like to pick his brain I can introduce you.

A little bit more about me, I am an Army veteran with three tours to Afghanistan under my belt. While in the army I deployed on my first tour where I operated as a Human Intelligence collector attached to a Focused Targeting Force. My second and third tours I operated as a counterintelligence specialist with a TS/SCI clearance on two DOD private contracts. Since 2014 I have been working remotely from my home office as a cyber security consultant for Dell Secureworks. I also am the co-founder of a SDVOSB certified government contracting company, COGS LLC. Due to my current working environment I am able to dedicate nearly full-time hours into real estate investing.

My door is always open if ANY of you ever want to chat about literally ANYTHING.

Feel free to connect with me via ANY or ALL of my social accounts.

I hope to work, learn, teach, collaborate, partner, laugh and succeed with ALL of you.

@Jonna Weber Thanks for the warm welcome and I will be sure to utilize the BP Community and REIA meetings to the best of my ability.

@Brian DiMaggio Thanks buddy, I appreciate you saying that. I actually just applied for GSU's Master of science in Real Estate for fall 2019. I look forward to hearing about some of your investments and projects. I grew up in Johns Creek and then moved back to Atlanta after my last tour in Afghanistan. I currently live right next to the Southside beltline and the new Beacon Development by Grant Park. Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further.

@Ethan Henning Thanks for that brother. I'm actually curious about the Henry County real estate market. I read in a few articles that Henry County is great for rental property investors. I also heard that Henry County home buyers qualify for the Georgia Dream Home Ownership program. I know someone who qualifies for that program and is interested in buying down there. I am VERY interested in wholsaling and if you have a list of properties I would love to see them. I also am VERY interested in multifamily deals for the longrun. I have been focusing my efforts on finding multifamily properties in Athens, Lawrenceville, Macon, Jonesboro, Conyers and East Point. What areas have you been looking at? Feel free to PM me if you would like to discuss further.

@Andrew Syrios Thanks Andrew! I'm Irish so Luck is nothing but a thaaaang :)
