Awesome news! Congratulations @Eli Rose!!!!!! The Taylor's are not that far behind you guys. 

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.

I am new to all of this as well. From my limited experience, I would suggest networking with wholesalers and agents that specialize in the area that you want to invest. Secondly, check out the MLS and Craigslist.

I've been hearing that ITP is experiencing a mini bubble right now with prices escalating due to the influx of investors in the area, but there are deals to be had.

Welcome to BP!

@Eli Rose, I will be there. Great idea!

I was just starting to research local REI groups.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I will absolutely take each of you up on the offer for coffee and conversation as soon as my personal life settles down a bit. 

Hello All,

My name is Will Taylor. I'm a recent transplant to the Acworth, GA area. My wife and I just built a house in a new subdivision and are about to start a family next month(It's a boy). We have embarked upon a journey of becoming debt free recently and are intrigued with the idea of early retirement. As part of that I am interested in learning more about the real estate investment industry and possibly adding some rentals or flips to the portfolio. 

I'm educated as a civil engineer (Ga Tech) and have worked in the commercial construction industry for years in multiple roles; development, feasibility studies, governmental approvals and permitting, pre-construction and estimating, project management and superintendent work as well as handling all sustainable construction and LEED certification in house.

I'm a voracious reader and am currently consuming "Building Wealth One House at a Time" by John Schaub. I hope to learn as much as I can in a short period and pull the trigger on my first property this year.
