Brand new to real estate investing and I am looking to complete my first wholesale deal. 

I like to look for locations that are good, and that I’d feel safe and comfortable living in if I was a single woman with a couple of kids.

Brand new real estate investor.

I usually have very low turnover so I was hoping to organically grow my presence and name brand so that I had more visibility in the marketplace.

I also have a few older homes I think I have a couple built in the 1910's. 

Plan is to purchase a couple homes over the next year.

A couple of caveats though:*I've been doing this for 5+ years.

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

I am also the founder and owner of Accredited Life, a lifestyle community, brand, and experience for accredited investors, soon-to-be accredited investors and their families.
