Long time accidental real estate investory

[Christopher Johnson]

I've owned additional properties and been "buy and hold" for some time without a real strategy other than "I like this place, and would like to come here myself" but without a financial strategy or playbook.   

I'm looking to pivot with purpose, and build a team to help me make a more robust real estate portfolio to help me accelerate through and into retirement.  

I'm located near Manchester, NH, but interested in investing in many places in New England. I think one of the first things I'd like to get is help with a local recommendation on a lawyer to help me structure a trust and perhaps LLC to protect my family and assets as I continue to invest.

I'm really interested in learning more about how people are seeing certain markets, approach their strategy and getting more focused myself, as I work to sell my first property to free up some capital and turn it into more productive capital.

Feel free to send me any recommendations or ideas you have!

Thanks!

Chris

I'm based in Chicago and see a lot of real estate transactions through the eyes of my clients. I'd say many of them are either trying to buy deeper, focus on larger value add or house hacking. All of these strategies can work but it comes down to having the right team.
