Hi everyone,
As a recent UW grad I was hooked on the idea of investing and making my mark in the real estate arena. Growing up my dad was always the handyman around the house and I was inspired by his talks about always trying to get into SFRs and flipping houses. Unfortunately he never had the opportunity but luckily for him I caught the bug as well. As of last year I just acquired my first rental property!
Having listened to numerous Bigger Pockets podcasts, I am just itching to further my way into this area. Being a hands on (and quick) learner, I would love to see how one acquires and remodels properties. After following along with a few contractors on their various jobs and talking with some investors I am looking for someone that may be able to show me (in depth) how they do things and what they look for. As for all newbies I know we all had the same initial fears and doubts as me. I'm extremely excited and have done tons of research but ideally I would like to see someone experienced go through the motions so I can truly see what the process is like.
Ultimately I am looking for mentors and guides that can help show me the ropes but don't think I won't pull my own weight. There is a payoff in the end and I hope that someone will be willing to help me out on my journey. One thing that is always talked about are the difficulty in finding people who are reliable, trustworthy and all out hard worker. I can tell you for a fact that I am all 3. I would love the opportunity and am not afraid of leg work/homework.
In my perfect reality, I would hope these new connections and friendships can turn into a mentorship where not only will I benefit but you will too!
If anyone here is willing to meet up and chat please don't hesitate to contact me.
Riley
