Hey guys, I'm the founder of Future Media Management, an internet marketing agency that is mostly me and a few friends allying as freelancers and doing marketing for private clients.
Recently, my father and I purchased our first property which we aim to flip. I've been listening to Bigger Pockets a lot recently to hone my knowledge and to get any edge I can to help me outpace the established competition in my area.
Looking forward to meeting new friends, faces, mentors, partners, investors and allies. Let's chat!

Welcome to BP @Randall Parker. Congrats on your first purchase and best of luck with it.
Your marketing background will serve you well in REI if it hasn't already. If you can develop a good pipeline through the internet that brings you deals you will be a step ahead of most of your competition.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. It's been somewhat intense getting started on the first flip, but I'm sure that is normal and to be expected. I'm trying to walk the line between doing work myself to save money on contractors and getting contractors involved for things that are out of my league so that I can reduce carrying costs. I have my money covered bc my dad is the silent partner and we're into the property for cash, so it's just a matter of trying to maximize my return on the flip.
