@Scott Hollister I think you hit on it. I just relocated to Waco. Austin is busting at the seams! We are on the I-35 corridor right between Austin and Dallas. Texas is producing half of the new jobs in the country. When I was looking to relocate, half of everything I saw were duplexes. The rental market is strong here and not too difficult to do math on. I’m trying to start wholesaling, which I had just started doing in Louisiana before moving here. My belief is that there is a lot of population influx due to growth, jobs, low taxes, etc. and not enough houses to go around. Not sure how that extrapolates to the rest of the Mid-West. It’s a good question. Just my two cents, Scott.

Robert!

My man!

Replying to your post. You are the first person I'll have met when we get to Waco in a month or so. Let's definately plan on My wife and I buying coffee or lunch for you and your wife at our earliest convenience.

In the meantime, I'd love to get some advice as to how you are making your business work, if you would be so gracious.

Thanks so much for the reply. I greatly appreciate it and I look forward to networking together.

Best,

Jeff

Hey there, gents. I think this is the most current West Monroe post here on BP, so I just wanted to throw my hat on the porch. My wife and I are new to real estate and looking to network locally.

Kindest Regards,

Hey, Josh!

I'm just new to BP, so I know this reply is not timely at all. If you have found the answer, then I'd also like to know. The oinly group I have found here is the NELA Landlords FB group. I think it's REIA affiliated?

Best,

Jeff

Howdy, BP Nation (or BP Republic as regards Texas. Smile.)

I can't say how appreciative I am for the month of pure insight and education I have absorbed here. And the connections I am making seem genuine and accessible. That alone is a blessing in terms of encouragement and inspiration.

I'm starting out and learning as I go by taking action every chance I have here in NE Louisiana.

However, I am happy to say, I will be relocating to Waco in the next month to be closer to my family in Austin. And to surf at BSR in Waco. Waves!

In the past month, I have made good relationships with about a half dozen buyers. I'm attempting to build my pipeline of buyers and sellers concurrently. I know there are different views on how to expedite this process. I feel like I am currently shoping for the buyers I have first, and then with marketing dollars, can grow leads for sellers. I know growing a buyers list is cheap and relatively easy, just takes time and effort. Not worried. And hopefully the one or two JV/co-wholesaling connections I've made can help fill any gaps in the meantime.

That's kind of where I'm at. 

Moving forward and into the central Texas are, I'll be starting at the bottom. Not worried. I have my full time and attention devoted to my business onve settled in Waco.

I'm looking for any folks willing to send the elevator down a bit in terms of helping me build my team. Title company, RE Attourney, agents, brokers, vendors, co-wholesalers,etc.

I realize I'm walking into one of the consistently top markets in the country with Austin and I'm happy to wet my feet more in Waco. I'm not initially looking to compete with anyone with establishe DM advertising. My wife and I will be bootstrapping which Is what I prefer so that there isn't anything I skip over and don't learn as I grow our company.

I started with the 10 Hour Wholesaler program which was good for the intro into the business and gave my action items to follow. Was a good entry for the price point.  

I have had conversations about joining the "Tribe" at Wholesalinginc.com. A significant investment. Thoughts, anyone, on continued education and/or resources to invest ini to quickly grow?

Lastly, for this post, I am keenly interested in creating my web presence quickly with an eye on SEO and content as a main lead generator as we are driving for dollars and scraping data from tax delinquency and probate lists. But having a site is something I'd like to focus and execute quickly. I have experience building sites, Wordpress, the basics. But I certainly want to expidite and get all the SEO elements and content operating effectively, so I'm hoping to get plenty of help via Fiverror some outsourced solution. Of course I would love to work with anyone local, if possible.

I look forward to meeting more like-minded individuals with a shared passion. Makes it all really cool. Thank you to all who have taken the time to read, and I look forward to bring my full share of added value to this awesome and powerful community!

Kindest Regards,

Jeff and Michele Gibbs

Scott,

I’m hoping to be in Austin for your event. Just starting in real estate investing with my wife and we are relocating to Waco from Louisiana over the summer. I lived in Austin over 20 years and just moved a year ago. Looking forward to being back and involved with Austin RE. I love Austin!

I look forward to connecting regardless!

@Ethan Henning

Good gravy! 50 in a month! Good on you! That’s so great to hear. Thank you for being so gracious and taking the time to reach out.

My wife's cousin holds 13 SFH properties and is looking for a good deal for MFH and commercial to buy and hold. I believe she works with hard or private money, but either way she is a pro and can hustle like nobody. Really awesome to work with.

I'm hoping we can make a match and, if your comfortable, work a good fit as a co-wholesale/JV deal. Up to you how you'd like to proceed.

Let me know what would be the best way to access the inventory you recommend and we can go from there. 

Again, thanks for your time and consideration!

Kindest Regards,

Jeff

Howdy, BP Nation!

I’m three weeks into the biggest adventure of my life and one I am certain will change my life. Skipped over the analysis paralysis and taking action.

I’m currently located in West Monroe, LA and first impressions are that it’s a small market with Tax delinquency and landlord investors as my current approaches. I got a referral from my landlord for a wholesaler that worked in the are, but relocated to Tennessee. 

I’ll be moving back to central Texas over the summer. I lived in Austin over 20 years up until a year and a half ago. Looking forward to being back in the area. I love and miss it. 

I’d love to have opportunity to meet, network, learn from, and do business with the action takers. Nationally is great as well. I have a buyer on my list in Atlanta looking for MFH and commercial nationwide.

Coming from a film producer background, I know how to talk and make things move. 

I’m not scared of the money or the success. I consider them byproducts of great work. 

I was just contacted by another wholesaler today, also new and short on buyers. I explained co-wholesaleing and put her in touch with another wholesaler (the one previously in my area) to see if they could make a match. It’s a good feeling to be a go-giver this early on, and I’m praying they get a deal done. Or many deals!

I’m a family man, work in the film industry and have a passion for surfing.

Who are you, how are you, and how can I serve?

Greetings in advance and go be great.

Kindest Regards,

Jeff Gibbs

Hey, BP Nation!

I’m on the hunt for a landlord cash buyer and came across what I believe could be a good deal for the two of us.

The property is MLS listed with an agent. How would that work?

Yes, I am new. My intuition is that if I bring a buyer, I can negotiate a fee for the agent and I?

Please advise, and I am so grateful for all of you and for BP!

Kindest Regards,

Jeff Gibbs
