Happy New Year from this New Member in Metro ATL!

Happy New Year everyone! I'd like to introduce myself. I've been an investor for over 5 years and I'm currently VP of Business Development at a mini-fund, iSource360. 

My role has evolved over the last few years with this investment firm.  I started as the Acquisitions Manager, and now I manage our Fix and Flip Division as well as being responsible for general business development. 

I've lived in Northeast Atlanta for a little over a year now, but I manage projects here, Central Texas, Birmingham, AL, and Northeast Ohio.

I am looking forward to building a network of like minded folks and I am excited for the opportunities and the potential the New Year brings. 


Best Wishes in 2015,
Timil Jones

    @Timil Jones 

    Hello "BP Newbie" and welcome to Bigger Pockets.

    In the meantime here are 7 tips to help you grow your business using BP:

    1. New to BP?


    2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades"

    3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan.


    4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.

    5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!

    6. Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums:


    7. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you:

    Welcome to Biggerpockets!

    You found the place to be! You will find no better place to build a solid platform than bigger pockets. The one thing we all agree up on is that we invest in real estate. Beyond that everyone has a different niche!

    We are buy and hold investors who invest in class A properties self-managing from a distance while working full time. Our goal is early retirement in 15 years.

    I highly recommend you also check out- the blogs, forums and listen to the podcast. Make sure you don't miss out on networking is by filling out your signature, profile and pming people with questions.

    Look forward to seeing you around! Let me know if I can help! Good luck!!!
