Finally finishing up my first duplex!

My wife and I jumped into the investing game in 2016 with this historic single family in downtown Macon,Ga. Though we were optimistic there were so many obstacles we faced throughout this entire process. It’s been 3 LONGGG years but our confidence in its potential has never wavered.

The property has built almost 40k in equity and will cash flow around $600/per month. I think despite the losses we’ve incurred the amount of knowledge and confidence I’ve gained from this project will propel us to go as far as this real estate journey will take us.

I say all that to say any beginning investor out there who is scared to start or nervous. Take the leap! Even if goes bad make sure your plan aligns with its potential and do it! The knowledge you gain and confidence will supersede all the downfall. At least, that is my opinion.

I currently reside in Atlanta and would love to connect with investors and real estate professionals around the area.

1st post. Major goal: Become a guest on the biggerpockets podcast 😆😆😆
