@Tim Delaney thank you for the advice! I will for sure do that! I actually live in a rental property and the owner of the house even found out i was a drywaller so he asked me if I wanted to do side jobs for his properties and i think i will for him! I appreciate the advice!!

@Jesus Cordero if you are working as a drywall finisher you have a skill that many investors that do BRRRR or flips are looking for. I would suggest going to meetups and start getting side jobs for investors with the goal of trying to partner with someone.

I have a partner who runs a roofing business. His construction skills and knowledge paired perfectly with my financial knowledge and access to capital. I had been trying to buy BRRRR opportunities for awhile, but was always getting outbid because I did not have a great contractor available to me so I always used ultra conservative rehab numbers. By partnering with someone with the construction skills and ability to not only do the work, but better manage the guys that are working, we have been able to acquire eight properties over the past year.

You shouldn’t just jump into a partnership immediately though which is why I suggest starting by doing some work for people and getting to know them. You both need to build mutual trust with each other before entering a long term relationship of owning real estate together. And when you do partner be sure to do it properly with legal agreements and exit plans including what happens if one of you becomes disabled or passes away.

Hey everyone! I am a new investor, starting out in the Youngstown area but also looking in closer areas as well. Right now I currently work for a drywall company as a drywall finisher. I want to grow my business to the point where I reach financial freedom and am able to quit my day job! I am currently looking into wholesaling to start and then branching into buy and holds for cash flow and equity building. I actually found bigger pockets as soon as I came across the term "real estate investing" and googled the name and ever since I have been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for about 5 months now and I feel it is time to take action and also start networking! Looking forward to meeting other investors and potentially networking with one another! Thanks for taking the time to reading my post!

I will be there for sure next time! My friends and I are just starting and we have been wanting to connect with other investors in the area but didn’t know there were any investors in the youngtown market!
