Hello to all,

Just digging into this site but love it so far and look forward to sharing some inspiration, knowledge and deals with some of you on here.

A little bit about me - I was a commercial broker for 5 years in this market and did plenty of deals but have experienced a lot more fun and passion doing the first deal for me (other than a small/passive investment in a big out of state student housing deal) than at any time in those 5 years. I bought a rental in October that I'm happy with but want to get a few more under my belt!

I'll admit I can get distracted with multiple niches/strategies so all the info on here may lead to overload. Thanks for the resources nonetheless.

I'll end this by asking, how did you pick the direction of your first year or two in this business? Meaning wholeselling/rehabs/SFR/selfstorage/etc..

Thanks,

Colin

@Colin Perry Welcome to BP. Be sure to read the Learn section above. It is loaded with great info. You can also set key word alerts for areas or topics of interest like "Raleigh" or "wholesale". you can also use the forums to get advice on possible purchases or ask questions.

As to how I got started and what the area was, when I moved after graduating from college I rented my trailer and land until I sold it. I was a clueless landlord. My first investment purchase was simply seeing a very good deal and buying it and renting it. More chance than choice.
