My Story & My First Deal

Keith Washington
  • Los Angeles
Posted

Beach city kid with an IT background. I traveled often for work, and managed teams that developed software for international airlines.

As a big fan of Chip and Joanna Gaines, I easily fell in love with all things real estate.

I went to BiggerPockets University, and jumped right into my first deal.

Through my marketing strategies, I connected with a family who was facing foreclosure.

I teamed up with an investor, and we were able to stop the auction process.

We purchased the home for $417,000

San Diego Property. 2 Bedroom. 1.5 Bath + Den.

Minor repairs were needed, and we converted the den into a 3rd bedroom option.

A few months later we sold the property for $520,000

We were able to turn a nice profit, but the amazing feeling was helping this family get a fresh start.

Needless to say, but I walked away from my career; and I’m all in with real estate.

My days are now spent on the beach with my laptop looking for the next family to help and connecting with like minded investors!
