The furthest properties are the hardest to deal with because my contractors don’t want to travel that far due to their time wasted driving and the cost of gas for their big trucks.

My passion lies in expanding my portfolio of long-term rentals and diving into property flipping as I grow in this journey.My main goals are to connect with like-minded investors and professionals, share experiences, and soak up as much knowledge as I can from this incredible community.If you’re based in Georgia or working on similar projects, I’d love to connect and hear about your journey!

Hi All,I’m excited to join this platform and connect with other professionals in the real estate industry.

A key part of our team is our talented interior designer, who helps us add that extra flair to every property we touch.We’re eager to connect with local investors, agents, lenders, contractors, and anyone else who shares our passion for real estate.

Over this time I have acquired my contractor team and have vetted them through my job as a property manager, figured out my strategy(Off Market/Deep buying) and location.

it will be denoted on the purchase and sale contract or it will be denoted he is not representing you and only representing the seller.  

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

And the exit strategy with RE is much more difficult if you buy a property doesn't align with your goals.I completely agree with getting reps in real life, walking properties, talking to contractors and investors.
