New member from Atlanta

[Trey Pope]

Hi, my name is Trey Pope and I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I got into real estate in a round about way in the summer of 2012. I have a couple of companies, one of which is a company that does repair and painting for utility companies in their substations. That work is seasonal and has been slow for the past year so I decided to buy a REO property and have my three man crew rehab it for me. I had so much fun doing it I have just bought 2 more bank owned houses and I am in the middle of the renovations. I knew there was a learning curve and I expected to screw some things up on the the first one which ofcourse I did! (The main mistake was pricing the house too high and coming down to slow.) With a little help from studying J Scott's wonderful site I soon corrected that mistake, sold the house and made a profit......Anyway, I am thrilled to be a member and I look forward to actively participating. I am enjoying the process so much it is nice to have a place to discuss with people of similar interests.....Best, Trey
