Hello, I'm a new aspiring investor in the Kansas City area

[D'Wayne Hopkins]

My name is D'Wayne Hopkins. I started listening to the BP podcast roughly 3 months ago. Like I mentioned in the title I live in the KC metro area. I'm currently an electrician apprentice, pizza delivery driver, and competitive gamer.

I first heard of real estate investing back when I worked for Social Security. One of my coworkers did it. I was fascinated when he told me that he didn't need the job at all and was just up here to scout out property and he had 5 figures just sitting in the bank. I got super hyped up talking about it and then...I let it sit on the back burner for 2 years. Frustrated with myself after completing a job and having to sit to wait on another one while taking extra delivery shifts I decided I wasn't gonna let this be a pie in the sky dream anymore and committed to start learning. That's when I stumbled upon BP podcasts and Millennial Real Estate Investors. I listen to the archives while delivering pizzas and driving to my various job sites.

I have a lot of preparing to do before I feel I'm ready to buy but I'm still looking at deals atm. I saw my first potential deal on the MLS but since I'm not in a position to buy yet, I decided to pass it on to my cousin who said he'd help me get started. Once I've got my credit built up to a decent level I'm hopping in the fray. I hope for the best in the future alongside all of you.

I'm looking to do buy and hold rentals. Preferably it would be small multi family with the hopes of renting them out by room. My plan is for my first deal to be a house hack in a duplex (or bigger if it plays out that way). After that I'll be open to flips as well. But if if makes sense to go out of order for whatever reason, then so be it.
