Las Vegas Newer Member gone PRO on BP

Real Estate Agent · Las Vegas, NV · Member since 2016 · 589 posts · 275 votes

Hi guys and girls, my name is Mike G. from Las Vegas, my background in real estate is up to this point mostly education but I am taking massive indiscriminate action and acquiring properties. Im currently a reservist in the US Navy and Im looking to get my real estate license this year. My goals are yo execute the BRRRR strategy on multifamily properties and then purchases value add mobile home parks for investments. I found Bigger Pockets 2 years ago but im shy and it took me a while to get engaged and realize that were all just students of the game of real estate and some are farther along their journey than others and that is no excuse for me NOT to network and get to know many of you on here and tap into everyone's experience and knowledge and resources to build up my rental portfolio and to help others along the way as my knowledge and experience grows over time.

Looking forward to making some great connections, personal and business and hope to do some deals with some of you. . so I will check back and stay in touch with any and all who reaches out to me.  Again my key points are:

Multi family, creative finance, seller carry, hard money, private money, BRRRR, mobile home park investing, financing, VA loans, veterans in real estate.

Im humbled to be here and be a part of this great community and thats why i went PRO and will stay PRO. Now that Im outta my shell its time to start taking advantage of all the opportunities that are here waiting for me. 

Best to all, talk soon.

    @Mike G.

    Realtor.com estimated appreciation at 6.9% for 2018. January, year over year, was 11%, and February was 14%. If these monthly numbers continue to be this good, then will crush estimates. I crunch my own numbers and know ahead of time. 

    You need to be one step ahead of the competition. When you saw the list, you are behind already.

    Welcome. TONS of great RE people in the area and on the site, just gotta make networking a habit! 

    I'm a veteran as well and use the BRRRR method (out of state), it's EASY. Always happy to help if I can.

    Meetups in this town are around as well, as Jon mentioned, outback is a good one. I've made tons of RE friends in this town and only been here a year. 

    You're gonna kill it my friend

    @Mike G. 

    Thanks for your service and Alexander too. 

    Mike welcome. I'm really excited to hear about your journey. We are also currently looking for a Multifamily, a small one, but the goal is to move to mobile home parks too. I'm next door in CA. We just finished a SF BRRR in Pitts, that should be on the rental market by next week. Just ironing out some details with PM contract.

    Cheers everyone.

    @Terry Lao your advice makes sense. By the time its out to general public its already old news. How do you crunch those numbers to make those assessments?

    @Mike G.

    Would you believe in the past 3 years on Bigger Pockets, and I post a lot of my analysis, Case Shiller numbers, GLVAR sales numbers, etc., you are the first that asks me how do I crunch the numbers.

    I'm in accounting and finance by trade, so all I do every day is numbers.  Accounting, forecast, budgets, actuals, analysis. Throw in mortgage banking experience in the past. And what you see is me.

    Anyways, private message me, and i will tell you how to crunch the numbers and forecast the numbers ahead of time.

    You should see my method to predict NFL and College football games. If you are hitting at 60% of time, you are a winner. My method can hit at 70-75%.

    @Mike G. I am, I'm really working on getting better at analyzing and being more patient. Listings look great, then I do the numbers, and they're not. 

    Looking to buy at least a duplex or fourplex, by the end of the year. 

    Wish me good numbers.
