Hello from Pittsburgh!!

[Shantese Skrine]

Hello to everyone, my name is Shantese. I'm a 27 year old Pittsburgh native. I was referred to this site and have found it to be great source of info. I've done a lot of research and Im ready to go!!

I'm looking start by flipping REOs and then move into multi-family buy and hold and SFH fix and flip. I know this will take time but I have a plan...

I currently have 3 properties under a JV contract with another wholsaler, and Im currently looking to network with others to get this thing rolling

Looking forward to hearing from everyone,
Shantese

Hi Shantese,

Welcome to BP, glad to know you have a plan. When I started in 2003 it was hard focusing on a specific niche and sticking to it. I always tell my students to focus on wholesaling first, get good at it then try the fix& flip and buy & hold methods. The reason being that you learn the values, how to estimate repairs, negotiating etc... with very little at risk.

Hope this helps...
