I can also be a resource for you if you're interested in acquiring run-down or as-is properties.I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your real estate goals.

I’m particularly interested in collaborating with like-minded investors and exploring partnerships for larger acquisitions.Looking forward to learning from this community and connecting with others passionate about multifamily investing.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Needless to say a bit frustrating but I learned a lot through the process.
