What's up BP?- James from Detroit, Michigan!
Hey Everyone,
My name is James Smith Moore, I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan which is where I currently live. I've been an entrepreneur my entire life from breeding and selling lizards at 15 to launching my own Sneaker Line in Detroit, Michigan called Jimmy Kicks that was featured in dozens of media outlets around the world including the New York Times
Unfortunately things had to come to a hault- but that didn't stop me!
I've always had an interests in aquiring established businesses that could be ran semi-absentee and other income producing assets such as vending machines and real estate.
After doing tons of research, the Real Estate bug hit me and I fell in LOVE with the advantages and opportunity real estate had to offer. The thing that stuck out the most was how much you could LEVERAGE real estate to scale and grow an empire.
I then took the 40 hour Pre-Licensing RE class just to learn more about the practice and decided that I would become a Realtor and investor in the Metro Detroit area.
I'll be passing my exam within the next couple of weeks and will be looking for my first investment property to launch my RE portfolio.
I'll be targeting single family and Duplex homes in Detroit initially and will leverage that foundation to acquire Multi-Family units with 5 or more.
I look forward to connecting with as many people as possible on Bigger Pockets and getting the most out of this experience. I love connecting with motivated, driven individuals so let's connect and get some ideas and deals on the floor!
Peace!
James Smith Moore
