Excited to get started!

[Justin White]

Hello BiggerPockets Family,

I'm Justin White, I am from a small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula called Menominee (named after the local native tribe). I currently live in Saint Mary's, GA and am serving in the United States Navy as an Engineering Laboratory Technician on a guided missile submarine. I married my best friend last October and we love enjoying life together. 

Why I love real estate: I love challenges. Real estate deals have so many pieces yet have an odd sort of simplicity to them that I find very intriguing. I also love being part of changing things for the better and rehabs are perfect in that aspect. It is a versatile investment category and always changing in some way. I love learning and there is plenty of that to go around in this industry! Besides having always been drawn to RE I believe that it is the best way for me to provide the best life that I can for me and my future family. Unfortunately my parents divorced when I was young and work restricted time with my dad to every other weekend only. I want to always be there for my kids and my wife and this is the vehicle I chose. My primary interests are rental properties (single family and multi family) and flips. In the future I would like to find myself on the development side. I would love to restore historic buildings and make them beautiful places for people to live while retaining their original character.

What I have done so far: (1) Live in flip in progress on our primary residence. 2700 sqft foreclosure that my wife and I are renovating. So far looks like we are about 70k on the plus side, but still have a way to go. (2) Recently had our offer accepted on our first BRRRR, 3/2 1150 SQ ft, foreclosure. The inspection was today and we are planning on moving forward with it.

What I am currently struggling with: I have a private investor for the BRRRR, but have not been able to find great information on the details of getting a contract written up, how it affects closing, and how funds are transferred.

I look forward to making connections with this awesome group!
