Hi everyone!

My name is Camden Kelly and I recently started working within the real estate investing game. As some brief background I started investing when I was 22 by completing my first live in flip. My wife and I lived in the property for two years, improved every feature, and ended up selling it when the time was right. We are currently doing the same thing again. However, I have built up enough equity in the property we are currently living in to take out a pretty substantial HELOC and I want to get this money reinvested in other properties. I have scoured the MLS and went and looked at properties on craigslist, REOs, properties for sale by owner, and even properties posted by whole sellers. I have made connections with contractors, real-estate agents, and title insurance companies. At this point, I am currently looking for any advice/partnership with people who are buying properties from auction or utilizing other resources to acquire properties at a fair price. I would also be happy to share further details if anyone is interested in giving me some advice.

Thanks!

- Cam
