Flip, Hack, or Mug our way to BRRRR in Central Florida

Richard J Shannon

Good evening everyone,

I represent a national, international, intergalactic consortium of real estate moguls with knowledge to rival the Library of Congress and assets under management larger than most GDP's. /s

I've been waiting for far too long to make an introduction that way.

My name is Richard Shannon, the extent of my knowledge has been growing up participating in a half dozen rehabs that my family spearheaded. So I'm like a kid who's dad was a heart surgeon so he thinks he can do a double bypass. I run a small business out of Central Florida.

I first heard about bigger pockets from Brandon Turner's book, (and about a million more times from him since), I had it going through headphones while walking around Disney and it was the most exhilarating thing about that trip. It planted a seed, that took a several months to grow. I consciously put this endeavor on ice to focus on the business, and opted to settle for educating myself on the industry and process. After several months there was no way to stay on the sidelines any longer. I'm excited to be here and to learn from the combined life experience and wisdom available, as well as to meet and add value to as many of you as I can.

My goals are pretty simple but far from easy, 

I am going for 200 units, cash flowing at least $100/door with 12% COC ROI.

My primary business is going to hit $920k in sales annually.

And we're going to employ, engage with, and learn from great, motivated people. 

Like many of you before me, I'm here because of a decision to do whatever it takes to outrun an average life focused on keeping our head's above water. This isn't the first step, and I'll be drop dead before I let it be the last.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, I look forward to meeting you,

Richard
