Whats the next project for you?

I currently live in Toledo, where I’m working on a live-in flip with my duplex.Here’s what I bring to the table:Hands-on experience with construction and property maintenance.Knowledge and skills for value-add projects, especially on smaller properties.A passion for learning and growing my portfolio using strategies like buy-and-hold and BRRRR.I’m looking to connect with:Local investors in the Toledo area who can share insights or collaborate.Contractors, property managers, and other real estate professionals.Anyone interested in sharing ideas, advice, or potential partnerships.If you’re in or near Toledo and would like to connect, feel free to reach out!

Sounds like a fun project.

Networking with real estate professionals is huge, too – it opens up so many opportunities.Would you recommend starting with fix-and-flip projects or something else for someone new to private lending?

The investors that I work with that invest out of their area are most concerned in the projected area appreciation.  

Some are more cumbersome than others with project schedules but that comes down to project types and size of firm.

I think flipping is the way to go on this project since it’s my first deal which has always been the plan but very grateful for some guidance. 5 weeks of tear out, wall paper removal 🙃, new electrical, deck supports, HVAC install…we start putting it back together!

I'm a San Antonio native and I am also a Project Manager/General Contractor.
