Hi @Lillian Pintaro I am a GC and real estate investor in Birmingham.

I own just at $8mm in real estate here across 25 or so properties and am an agent.

I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hello,I'm fairly new to RE investing/buying a home and have been reading "Long distance real estate investing."

Is your goal to use being an agent for your own personal investments or actively try and grow your agent business to eventually leave your W2?

Some parts you can systematize, but for things like turnovers, repairs, and showings, you need real boots on the ground.I built a 12-door portfolio in Detroit while living there, then moved back to California and managed them remotely for a while.

You cannot start a business with no experience and no money unfortunately. 

Read "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene for starters.

Hello,I'm from Canada and looking to get into the US real estate market.
