I don't know that I've ever met a 1st gen African LO, but I've met 1st gen LO Russians, Latinas, Brits... and to the extent that African accents are associated with "Nigerian Prince" schemes, note that the overwhelming majority of LOs doing shady things circa 2004-2007 had accents identical to what you would expect my accent to be based on my profile picture, so you certainly shouldn't assume that I'm not shady based on my accent any more than you should assume someone is shady if they have an accent that sounds African.

I see that your profile says you are iN Virginia, is that where the property is?

So I've been strategizing how to start my RE profile in the next year or so, but the biggest things is saving to get that 10-20% down..

The first thing I would do is add your area info to your profile.

I want to make a big difference in this world and I you want to learn more about me take a peak at my profile.

I had a guest that said they had an ID verification on their AirBNb profile and once we got police report back it turned out that they were younger than my requirement in addition to not having same name as profile.

I wrote a blog with some SEC 8 tips that you can find on my profile if you’d like more info.

@Greg CallanWould not do it.If it's your first deal, there are probably a lot of other variables that's missing and your ability to comp is probably going to be way too optimistic.If you knew the market and have done a few deals there and know that you'd get some sort of appreciation or that $850 comp would actually work out or that you can somehow get it to $1050...then it might be OK.But I'd underwrite it at $750 and 60-70% expenses.A 900 - 2149 - 268 would be a more conservative estimate.Depends on your risk profile and how confident you're gonna be able to be right on the dot with your first go at underwriting a deal.

Feel free to check out my profile for my background and experience, but we'd be glad to help you with your real estate needs in Atlanta.

@David Seroy thanks David heading to your profile now.
