New Investor Traverse City MI

Victor Wasson
Posted

Hello Everyone, 

My name is Victor Wasson. I am an IT Project Engineer by day. My goal is to invest in rental properties in northern lower Michigan and the Grand Rapids area. I purchased my first property 2 years ago using owner financing. It needed quite bit of work but I have a ton building and trades experience from before I started working with my brain instead of my back. 

I got a great deal with a low down payment and a short 5 year contract. I spent the first month making it livable and have been living in and rehabbing in my spare time since then. I knew I wanted to use it to fund my next purchase of another home/rental preferably a duplex, triplex, or quad, but had no idea how to do it. 

I recenty hit the Google and stumbled across Rich Dad Poor Dad and was inspired to take active steps to change my life. In my search for education I found The Book on Rental Property Investing which brought me here. I am looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you and would like start networking with others in my area.

@Victor Wasson Sounds like you have a good plan, Victor. I'm a Realtor in the Grand Rapids area and an investor. Please reach out to me if I can help you with property here in Grand Rapids. It's a great market. I'm always keeping an eye on the multifamily inventory.
