Newbie Investor from Atlanta, GA =)
Hi friends,
My name is Trong, new RE investor from Atlanta, GA. I found BP when I first read J Scott's Book on Flipping Houses a few years ago, and recently started listening to the BP podcast. I've flipped 2 houses in the Metro-Atlanta area in the last couple years and now looking to branch out into rental properties. Particularly interested in the BRRR strategy because it's kind of a mix of both, flipping and buy/hold. I work a 9-5 and make decent income but would like to generate more passive income to ultimately have more time to do the things I want to do, like traveling or spending time with my family. My goal of joining the BP community is to learn, network and hopefully contribute. I would love to get connected with any member in the metro-Atlanta area. And if I can be of value to members outside my area, I would love to connect with you as well. Thanks for reading and look forward to connecting.
