Getting Involved in BP and Birmingham Investing

[Jacob Glawson]

Hello Birmingham BP Family!

So, on the fantastic BP podcasts, Brandon, Josh, and usually their guests, recommend getting involved and being active in the BP community to learn more, get help, partner etc.  Well, this is me getting involved.  A little about myself:

1) I know nothing.  Well, maybe not nothing but probably less then the rest of you.

2) I have my first deal in the works and I'm hoping to close by next week.  Yay!  I'm ready to find the next deal.

3) I would love feedback from you guys on how you are finding "good" properties and where you are looking. I've been looking a lot in the Center Point area but I'm terrible at determining current value, ARV, appropriate rent, etc. I've somewhat partnered with a realtor that works a lot in this area and they have been really helpful. However, they don't really have a lot of time to dedicate to just me so I'm wondering how I can go about this process more independently. Or, maybe I should reach out to multiple agents?

4) If I can help you, let me know.  I will at least try.

Good luck and hope to hear from you soon!
