Welcome, Tyler McLeod! This is a great community. Just remember to always keep learning, and there's plenty of info here to learn! What part of Birmingham are you in? I pass through there every other weekend.

Welcome, Sheree! The Atlanta area crowd is certainly growing!

I have a couple of different local attornies I've used, PM me if you want their info.

Feel free to check out this spreadsheet for common materials as well. Just go room by room and enter what you need, the instructions are on the page. Some of the prices may be outdated but you can easily change them after downloading.

Guess that means I'll just have to plan a separate trip for Vegas. It might be better that way anyway. Every time I've gone to Vegas for a conference I ended up doing lots of things besides attending the conference! I didn't get to go to Vegas last year so I'm getting the itch.

So do I, Will. Vegas would be nice. I may need to get these houses sold to fund the poker and craps budget though. :-)

I began 2012 with a rehab project (my first) that had been dragging on for quite some time for different reasons. Then I attended the BP Summit and that's when things changed. I met some great people there, and learned from some of the best in the business. In particular, J Scott, Marty Boardman, Will Barnard, Aaron Mazzrillo, and Rich Weese not only shared so much invaluable information in their presentations, but graciously made themselves available away from the conference rooms to people like me. All of these guys plus Ed O and Steven V really inspired me and motivated me to get things going.
I returned home, finished the rehab and sold it for a modest profit. Later in the year I purchased my second and third rehab projects, which should both be finished and listed for sale this weekend.

In 2013 I hope to add some more rentals to my portfolio, and continue to do more rehabs. I'm going to have to learn new techniques to fill my pipeline, which will be a challenge since I'm still working full time.

Welcome, Hari! Glad to see another Atlanta area investor.
Best wishes,
Andy

Welcome! I'm just up the road in Kennesaw so maybe our paths will cross at some point.

Of course, let me know if I can be of any help.
