I'm passionate about teaching real estate in underserved communities and helping others build wealth through knowledge.Looking Ahead: I’m seeking local and out of state investors, lenders, and professionals in the Atlanta area for STRs and MTRs, and in Birmingham, Phoenix, Columbus, Macon, and Augusta, GA for long-term rentals and small multifamily deals.Let’s connect if you share my vision for creating real estate that not only generates wealth but also builds lasting, positive change.

This morning I evicted an inherited tenant in a building that I"ve now owned for just over a year. 

Our team along with clients all are heavily investing in the area, and it is a strong place to start. close proximity to New York and New Jersey, paired with extremely affordable property/taxes and high rental demand make it on most people's radar.  

Since you’re already diving into BiggerPockets, focus on clarifying your investment goals (house hacking, multifamily, or BRRRR), building your network with experienced investors and lenders, and most importantly, taking action by analyzing real deals.
