Hello from Mandeville, LA!!!

[Jason Blanchard]

My name is Jason Blanchard and I am new to Real Estate investing. I will be buying and selling out of the Greater New Orleans area. I have little experience in real estate besides buying my first home and I wish I knew what I know now back then. My better half has a much more significant understanding of the real estate world. In her past she has been a real estate agent, worked for a title company, property manager for 100+ apartment complex, lease admin for a corporate property management firm and a residential/commercial marketing researcher for the same property management company. Needless to say I will be relying heavily on her in the upcoming months. For now she is staying at home and raising our newborn son.

I currently work for a small telecommunication company installing telephone and data systems for small/medium business.

I plan on starting at wholesaling local properties and building a better understanding of how exactly the real estate world works and a larger cash pool in order to invest in buy and holds for passive cash flow. The goal of course is to not have to work a 9-5 and be able to spend more time with my new family.

I would like to meet other like minded people and build a nice size buyers list in order to quickly close on my wholesale deals. I have not seen many wholesalers advertising in the New Orleans area and none in my direct vicinity of Mandeville, LA. So my competition should be small which will result in greater deals for anyone investing in my properties.
