@Will Gaston here you go brother!

The #1 question we get at REI Live Columbia is... Where do I get the Money to do Deals??

If that has been a question for you then  you need to be at our next meet up!  We will have Rehab Wallet partner Kelli Garret here to tell you exactly how to get that Doe.  Kelli is a successful entrepreneur and investor.  She has spent years in the Real Estate lending space as well as doing deals herself.  

You Don't want to miss this!!

Kelli Garrett is managing partner of Rehab Wallet, one of the East Coast's premier private real estate lenders providing solutions to investors in need of short-term financing for fix-and-flips and/or bridge loans. Prior to Rehab Wallet, Kelli spent over 20 years personally investing in real estate. Because she had been an investor herself, flipping hundreds of single family residences and multi-family units, Kelli had a true understanding of investor needs and wants. Rehab Wallet was created by investors and for investors to specifically address those needs. In addition to being a managing partner of Rehab Wallet, Kelli is also a coach, speaker, author, investor and owner of multiple other businesses.

@Anthony Middleton Yes.  Please come on down.  tonight at 6

3/2 is our next event.  

@Johnathan Sawyer welcome to BP.  I'm in Columbia and wish I had this platform and your mentality at 19!

I bought my first rental right after college at USC. You asked about a mentor, but I would suggest you continue learning from BP and join a local meet up group. I know that REI Central is a great group with lots of big time investors. I think you will find it easier to meet some one that you connect with when you go to the meet ups. Then offer to help so you can learn along the way.

A tip that I give people; is to reach out to the leader of the meet up group and ask them if they need help. I know that I can always use an extra pair of hands when setting up our meet up each month. Hope that helps you get connected and starting on this awesome journey of REI.

@Jarrid Weber do you also invest in Columbia?
