My team and I are looking to partner with muti family investors around the  country, whatever it looks like, we specialize in acquisitions and have been wholesaling for about 5 years, we would like to start as equality partners and bring deals to others we have systems to hit a lot of leads and experience in talking with all kind of seller's, we would love to bring vulve to others and slowly build up and eventually be full  time in real estate.

I plan to convert my Surf City house into a long term rental soon (long term since my HOA currently does not allow STRs).I am an active duty Marine and have been in for almost 10 years.
