Hello BP!

I’m so thankful to have discovered this community.

I’m loving the podcasts. I’m loving the forums! And I’m loving the blog posts!

I’m a backslidden investor, looking to be reborn again. (Ha!) I bought a triplex 12 years ago as my first home and have been managing it well. Unfortunately for me, life has distracted me from my original real estate goals, but I’m back!

I am ready to start investing again and am exploring my options. I have some debt and I have some funds. I’ve read/listened to the ‘Pay Debt or Invest’ debate thousands of times and have decided to take the risk and do a few ventures to pay down the debt, and then continue investing for cash flow.

I work in the Pharmaceutical industry full time and like what I do, but it limits my time. I’m dabbling a bit in the real estate crowdfunding platforms, but would like to do a few venture with real life people. I see plenty of articles on how to find equity partners, but not finding a lot of info on how to vet investors (and their deals) to be an equity partner. Would love some more info on that!

Please feel free to reach out!

LaToya,

Welcome to the BP community. There is never a better time then today to get restarted in real estate investing. Some people might way "What If..." but those words cause us to doubt the decisions we make. 

It is great to hear you like your job and that you want to do real estate on the side. I would like to know.

1. What are your real estate goals for this year?

2. What type of help are you seeking?
