Hey Everyone,
Already overloaded by the amount of resources and info on the forums! I just started listening to the BP podcasts and have been reading about real estate investing for some time now and am ready to take the leap now! Looking to get into flipping as well as buy and hold in Cobb County with the ultimate goal of acquiring 10 rental properties.
I'm a Chemical Engineer by study and have recently transitioned to a Sourcing Analyst role over the past year and really enjoy what I do now. Looking to take advantage of the 50-60 hr/week analytics and spreadsheets overloading and incorporate that here. Also working on acquiring my real estate sales license to help with researching and finding deals.
Looking forward to connecting, learning, and helping as needed!
Welcome to BP @Amr Omar! I'm in Cobb County also, in Kennesaw. There's a BP meet up Monday, April 25th in Kennesaw - if you're able, be sure to attend. Here is the info:

@Amr Omar welcome to BP! Continue educating yourself on real estate investing via the podcasts & books on real estate investing. Find a niche that you like and master it. Ask questions on BP and network! Best of luck!
Hi Amr I'm a wholesaler here in GA and absolutely love Cobb County! Let's connect and I will add you to my buyer list so you can get first dibs on all my Cobb properties.
Unfortunately, I overlooked that I'm going to be in LA visiting family on the 25th and won't be able to make it to the meetup :/
@Christian Driver, @Julie Kern, @Allen Thomas, @Comfort S., I'd love to meet up and connect with you all individually as well! I currently work 5 minutes away from Marietta Square and would be down for lunch anytime.
My ultimate goal is to hold rental property, however use rehabbing as a tool to help support that by bringing in the extra income. My father-in-law is an investor in Gwinnett and has been both rehabbing and renting over the past 10 years. I'll be working for him (not to mention learning from him too) by acquiring properties to flip in Cobb, whether that be through the auctions, FMLS, or via wholesalers. We're looking to acquire and flip 3 - 5 properties each year.
My goal is to acquire 10 SFR rental properties in the area by 2023. Would like for them to be priced in the 100 - 140k price range and rent from 1k - 1.4k/mo range. These are also the same characteristics we look for in a flip (minus the rent of course).
I'm not looking to be an active listing agent, however I'm looking to acquire my sales license for 3 reasons:
(1) Access to the FMLS.
(2) A good learning tool to learn more of the legal, financial and regulatory aspects of real estate.
(3) When we're in a seller's market and with a few more years of experience, the ability to list properties independently.
