Hi @Richard Sinclair ! Welcome to the BP family. This community has a wealth of knowledge. If you have not already did, join a local real estate meet-up group  in your local area. One that is FREE, not something that is selling to be a member, UNLESS it is a well vetted type of mastermind. I would start with a free networking group. If one is not local to your area, you can start your own.

Wishing you much success!

Quote from @Dominic Kosteris:

Awesome! So proud of you on so many levels! I know sooo many people who claim that they're gonna get in on this game called real estate investing. Years and years later, they're still singing the same tune with nothing. Also, you didn't let your low income background stop you from achieving what you want. You are the embodiment of the American Dream. I see big things for you in the future!

 Thank you so much! 🙌🏾  It’s all about taking actin! I really appreciate the support and words of encouragement! @Dominic Kosteris

That is so awesome @Lawrence Briggs!!! Way to go for taking action and breaking the curse! Can you tell me a little bit more about your rental properties and what your actively going after for the next one?

Thank you so much!  @Cade Olof

I own a primary residence, and two single family rental properties. I’m a buy and hold investor. I go for properties that require very little rehab work, if any. I invest in Central Texas about 45 minutes from Austin. 

My next property will be either another single family property or duplex.

I have officially CLOSED on my THIRD PROPERTY! In less than 6 months, I’ve purchased 2 rental properties this year (2022). This means I now own 3 properties!

I’m breaking EVERY curse of poverty in my family and building generational WEALTH!

I was born in the Calliope Housing Projects of New Orleans and raised by a single mother. Now, I’m a real estate investor playing real life Monopoly by buying up Texas!

I’m living proof that if I can do this, then others can too! 🏠 🏠 🏠

I have officially CLOSED on my SECOND PROPERTY—a single family home, investment rental. This means that I now own two properties in Texas!

It only takes that one family member to start the generational wealth cycle; I am that person! Born and raised in New Orleans, by a single mother!


 Congratulations Lawrence! 

 Thank you so much! @Samuel E Randall


 Indeed!

All of you have been so supportive! I really appreciate it! My goal in life is to inspire at least one person to take action with real estate investing. If I can, they will too! I would like to network with all of you like minded-people :)
