Hi Jason,

Thanks for sharing your journey—it sounds like you’ve gained some invaluable insights from your experiences, even with the squirrel tenants (that’s definitely a story!). It’s great to see you pushing forward toward multifamily properties, and I’d love to hear more about your goals in that space.

By the way, I noticed you’re listed as a Specialist. Was that a past career in sales, management, or something related to real estate? It’s always interesting to see how people’s backgrounds play into their investing strategies.

What kind of multifamily properties are you eyeing right now? And how are you currently finding deals?

Looking forward to learning from each other!

Shaun

Hey Jason, welcome to the BiggerPockets community! 👋

It’s awesome that you’ve already started diving into the calculators and podcasts—those are great resources for anyone just getting started.

Since you’ve had some rental experience already, I’d love to hear what you found most challenging about owning and selling that property back in 2017. I’m still learning myself, but I’ve found that connecting with other investors and figuring out which areas of the market to focus on (like distressed properties or foreclosures) can make all the difference.

Are you currently looking to jump back into investing, or are you exploring different strategies at this point? Feel free to reach out if you want to bounce ideas off someone who’s also getting their feet wet!

Looking forward to connecting!

Cheers,
Shaun


 Shaun,

Thanks for reaching out. 

My 2017 property was a former primary residence that didn't sell when needed, most challenging. Learned that I needed a realtor that was local to the property location. What I learned from the rental was the due diligence importance of finding the right tenants. We were desperate and took the first available. I could go on for hours of the horror stories, (squirrels raised by tenant's) yeah!!!! 

Yes, very interested in investing and would love to own a few multi family properties, here in state.

My immediate goal , so far, is finding investors to secure my proposed properties.

What's your strategies? Any experience with RE investing? 

Sincerely,

Jason

Making contact for the first time here on BP. Looking forward to receiving direction and insight from a vast and amazing resource. I have had a rental property for a short period here in CT and have sold it in 2017. Recently, have only used BP calculators, watched a few podcasts and only viewed the forums from the outside. So, hello and thanks for viewing my post and look forward to meeting you!!!

Sincerely,

Jason Brown
