Newbie from Lexington, KY
Hey all,
My name is Josh Franklin and I'm based in Lexington, KY. This quarantine life got me researching many things over the past 50+ days. Many of my friends have been involved in real estate, some for a while and others relatively knew. I've lived in several houses and purchased at good prices only to sell 2-3 years later after very minimal upgrades and natural appreciation. Now I'm jumping into the real estate realm and doing so with a partner (my dad) who is a general contractor. The main area of focus is going to be BRRRR initially while I try to build some capital in the short term. Fortunately this partnership has its inherent advantages with not needing to go out and find a trustworthy contractor. Anyhow, I'm excited to continue listening to the pod and reading some books, as well as meeting some other investors who are doing things in the same vein.

@Josh Franklin Great to hear from another Lexington investor. I live in Alabama now but invest in BRRRR and fix and flip deals in Lexington. Currently own 20 rental units up there and have completed a hand full of flips. Would love to connect and share my experiences.
