Tennessee transfer dipping into REI industry

[Wellington Johnson]

Hello everyone, I just moved to Georgia from Knoxville, TN and am looking into deep diving into the Real Estate Industry. I'm a 25 year old kid in the middle of his career looking for a way to earn income on my own time by putting in the hard work and effort it takes to succeed in this industry while also passing along knowledge to others whenever I can. I'm particularly interested in the BRRRR method as well as House Hacking if that is viable. I'm planning to move to the Vinings area soon and create opportunities for myself within the city of Marietta, Smyrna, and Vinings.

I'm currently in the process of becoming a Loan Signing Agent, planning to start doing signing by the beginning of July, and attempting to attend as many REI meetups in the area. I would love to connect with like minded individuals here in the area for lunch or dinner during the weekday evenings or the weekend, just shoot me a message or post here and I'd love to chat.

I would also like to know if there is a certain trend going on in the Atlanta area, is it wholesaling? flipping? BRRRR? I'd love to know more about the environment here!

Thank you for reading and hopefully we can connect soon!

Hi Wellington, you mentioned the tips I would offer, join the local REIAs and figure out which one you find most useful. I was a member of 3 or 4 some (many) years ago, then I narrowed down to just one, GaREIA. You may make your own choice. My gig is buy and hold, help folks in my REIA learning / doing their first buy and holds.

RE is a team activity where your network is there to learn from and guide you past problems at the locale level.   

West Cobb / Douglasville / Douglas Co are good areas to buy 1% rentals.  Read the paper i wrote linked off my profile Bullet Proof Rentals.
