posted over 3 years ago

Hello all! My name is Devin Nguyen and I'm new to REI in the Albuquerque area. I'm a Senior Project Manager for a local architectural firm and have been in the profession for the last 17 years. In my quest to reach financial freedom, I have started many businesses in the past and failed at every single one of them. This time around, I truly believe I've found my niche in REI. I'm passionate about it!

I've gotten my first contract two days ago, and is currently in title search. Due to Thanksgiving coming up, it won't be ready until sometime next week (hopefully). I'm currently looking for advice on whether I should wholesale or BRRRR this property. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm so excited that I found BP, especially members in ABQ!!!  I hope to do business with you all sometime in the near future!

Glad to meet you Devin. Seems there are many of us trying to get this REI game on in Albuquerque. I would be happy to talk to you about the property and what may be my recommendation. Like you, I have passion for this business, but that isn’t a guarantee of success. Education, networking and some resources will help greatly. You are in the right place and we would be glad to have you come to some of the Meetup groups in town to introduce yourself and discuss your way forward. Just go to meetup.com, sign up and search for real estate in this area, you will find us...

Welcome @Devin Nguyen !  

Your decision to make depends on whether you’re looking to build quick capital or work through a renovation and refinance in the long run.

Do you have a preference at this time?
