Care to share more?  

I’m passionate about real estate and am working towards building my investment portfolio, with a goal of acquiring five rental properties over the next five years.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share knowledge along the way.

Since my firm is an investor private client boutique, I do not share resources outside of my client base.

We're also starting to scour other forums for possible investments outside the traditional MLS sites, and other areas like upstate NY. 

I feel like I’m missing the bigger picture of what makes a property a great investment opportunity.If anyone could share some pointers or insights on how to identify a “good deal,” I’d really appreciate it!

Happy to share lessons learned from out of state managing/investing if you have specific questions. 

Not sure what direction is best for you but I can share how I started. 

I even try to unsell them on the business by sharing my financial losses, litigation,  market shifts, permit purgatory, shady contractors,  clouded title issues,  paranormal activity, squatters, mold, etc.

When you are ready and want to learn more about the Mid-South/Mid-west markets that we are in I would love to share more details with you on a call.
