Newbie in Georgetown, KY

[Mark Kiser]

Hey, guys! So my wife and I bought our first house about 6 months ago. I've been reading about real estate investing for a few years now and I've listened to the BP podcast for about a year. It seems houses are being bought and sold very quickly in my area. Rentals are also filled very quickly. I'm trying to find a few people in my area to network with. I'm very new to this but very excited to get started.

Welcome to Georgetown! Real estate in Scott County is crazy right now! It's the fastest growing county in Kentucky and good deals are very hard to come by, you'll need to be ready to move on them if they do appear.  If you haven't already, you should join the local Lexington REIA. It's called Bluegrass Real Estate Investor's Group. They have a Facebook page and it's free to join and become a member. The meetings are once a month and are usually meet & greet\networking, but they occasionally have presenters. It's been a great resource for me. I try to make to every meeting, they draw between 75-100 people usually, and it's a varied crowd. There are wholesalers, real estate agents, investors, bankers, hard money lenders, pretty much anyone involved in real estate :)
