I am currently looking to do a BRRR. The house is listed with "extremely motivated sellers." Cosmetically it is distressed, but with good bones. I am currently trying to leverage funds from friends/family with a high return on cash over a 6 month time frame.
A little back story-
My name is Kelley, and have lived my entire life in the Lakeland. I started working in the oilfield right out of high school, from working the rigs, to operating heavy equipment.
For the past 6 years I’ve ventured in and out of entrepreneurial journeys trying to escape the brutal lifestyle that oil brings. Keep in mind that I did this all as a side hustle, while working full time in the oil and shallow utility field. First starting out with small scale landscaping, then jumping over to the next “get rich quick” idea. At that point I started a taxi company with my father, did that for a while until I pulled the plug due to conflict with family/business and overall safety concerns. Two years later my father was hijacked, stabbed and left for death on the side of the road while driving his cab in the middle of winter (he survived thankfully.) Following this attack, I had irrationally thought it would be a good idea to start a towing company without market research or strategy. After two years of struggling with road block after road block I pulled the plug on that, and went back to the oilfield.
A little less than a month ago I rented a house that had been on the market for a very long time and wasn’t selling. I furnished the house and currently doing short term rentals on it. So that brings me to today, wanting to continue the momentum and design the life I want to live- not forced to live.
I'm a avid audiobook listener, podcast consumer and gym lover. In the past I've only been focused on get rich quick (maybe I still am.) How ever I have been studying and leaning towards doing BRRR's. With goals of transitioning into a semi-investor/property manager role.
I would love to connect with you! I am always looking for creative conversations, and positive criticism. If you’re reading this, drop me a message and let’s get a conversation started! Opportunity doesn’t find you, you find it.
