Hello - New To Real Estate!!!

Ashanti Kouna
Posted

Hello, My name is Ashanti Kouna. I am based in Lakeland, Florida, and am looking to invest here and in the surrounding areas. I am very new to real estate but I am very excited to get started. I have been spending a lot of time taking in as much education as I can that is provided by bigger pockets. I am currently trying to figure out what avenue I want to take, I'm thinking the BRRRR strategy. Fun fact about me - I am 1 of 19+ children (disclaimer, I do come from a very blended family but we all grew up together). I am also a mother of 2 under 2 (at least for the next 7 days) my oldest is 1 1/2 and my youngest just turned 5 months today! I have no idea most of the time what I am doing as a mom, and I am not always the best sister and daughter - but what I do know is that I will be the first of all of my siblings to generate passive income, and create generational wealth for my beautiful girls.

Welcome, Ashanti and congrats on starting your journey.  There are a lot of good deals in Lakeland and Polk County in general.  I was just out in Lakeland this morning doing a walkthrough on a duplex.  You will find lots of help from the BP community.
