Hello everyone! I joined BP a few days ago and just wanted to introduce myself. I moved to Nebraska last spring to work for some folks who develop Low Income Housing Tax Credit projects in NE and KS. The job is wonderful and so are the people I work for! I've wanted to get involved in real estate investing for several years now, and have sat through enough classes, webinars, and courses to whet my appetite - now it's time to take action!
I'm particularly interested in wholesaling and buying subject to. I get a handful of leads every month through a website I've got set up, but lack the experience to feel confident on the phone. Just need a little encouragement and advice from those of you who were once in my shoes; the family and friends are all supportive, but I need to show them and more importantly myself, that this is something I can do. Would love to hear from anyone doing deals in Grand Island, Lincoln, or Omaha, and how I can add value to your business.
Great to hear from you and I commend the action taking. I have been buying, selling, wholesaling and other in Lincoln for quite some time now. I would be more than happy to give you advice and guidance. Please feel free to reach out to me any time. Also, there is a meeting every second monday of the month that many investors and other real estate professionals come to. It would be a great resource for you to meet many people that are involved in real estate. Check out www.facebook.com/REPGLincoln to get in the loop and keep up to date on meetings and other things happening in the area.
The first steps seem to be the hardest especially in real estate because there are so many avenues to go down. You got it narrowed down to wholesaling and buying subject to thats good. If you got some leads you could always ask some other wholesalers to partner up on the deal and that way you can watch how they get go from the first meeting to the closing table. 50% of a deal is better than 100% of no deal. Their are a lot of great people here in Lincoln that would be willing to walk you through the steps and give you guidance along the way. @Aaron Impensis a good friend of my and is very experienced in real estate investing. He would be a good person to meet with. I'm a buy and hold guy doing no money down deals if that interest you. Good luck and let me know if I can help it any way.
Personally I could always have more people helping me find leads for buy & hold, fix & flips or even wholesaling. Creating a win-win for everyone involved.
Thank you gentlemen, for your quick responses. Being new to the site, had no idea I would be able to connect with local investors so fast. Although I haven't done a deal yet, I'm truly looking to build a relationship-based business, as opposed to a transaction-based one. I'll keep the REPG in mind, as I look forward to meeting people like yourselves - doing what I want to be doing. I look forward to hearing more about your respective businesses and how we can help each other out.
