Aspiring RE Investor From San Diego, CA

Posted

Hi everyone,

My name is Dee Jay, originally from Philadelphia PA and now living in San Diego CA. I have been listening to BP for a few months now and so happy to be on the site. A lot of my current skillsets are perfect for REI, I just didn't know it was possible to be involved. My goal is to invest in mobile homes on the west coast and single family or multifamily properties on the east coast where scaling would be possible at a faster pace. I do not like to make mistakes and I have always been very frugal and meticulous with money and decisions.

My only barrier aside from wanting to obtain more knowledge is capital and time. I work a lot and currently trying to destroy my student loan debt. I would love to become confident enough to present credibility to private lenders once I fill in my knowledge gaps. I have been practicing analyzing deals, and trying to educate myself on figuring out rehab costs. I am definitely not afraid to get started, but i know I do not have enough knowledge yet to prove to my lenders that i can absolutely keep their investments safe. I cannot wait to connect with you all! And I am so excited to be working on getting my first door. The goal is within the next 6-9 months. Hello BP community!!
