Holly Scanlon It amazes me how many local people there are on BP. I am planning on attending my first CTREIA meeting Aug12th to further network with local RE people. I have yet to purchase my own rental property. I put in a few offers but have yet to have any stick. I got involved in the first apartment through a family friend. He had the apartment for a while but never had the time to get it rent ready and go through the process. I was fortunate enough to have him give me the opportunity to take it on as my own and still manage the property for him today.
I am still in the process of figuring out exactly what it is I want to do with REI. I know my long term goal is to get into apartment buildings but short term is fix&flip, fix&rent and buy&rent. I think the biggest challenge I have had is finding leads. I found some off the MLS but have yet to get any from wholesalers or private sellers in areas I want to invest in. Right now I am working on my marketing plan to get more leads coming in so I can act on them when the right one comes across.
