Hi, I'm Brysen Kelly only 20yrs old! Currently living in Virginia beach, Va, however have residence in Muncie, In. Hows that possible? You guessed it! I'm currently serving in the United States Navy. Being in the navy makes you learn to grow, develop, and have a relentless effort to do something more than just live your life. The navy teaches you to take charge of your life and command it to where you desire to go, while contagiously influencing those around you to be better. My goals are to build a strong business to create generational wealth while helping my community grow and give me the life I dreamed. Another way I'm making my dream a reality. Ways I plan on reaching that dream is through learning to successfully Wholesale Properties while growing my platform of rentals I will acquire to hack into the true wealth builder. So get used to seeing the name, I'm excited to get started and know the road ahead will not always be easy, but that's a challenge I'm ready to punch the clock on!

I am pretty new myself. We are invested with a syndication in a 166 unity apt. building in Kentucky and recently attempted to purchase a duplex in downtown Ghent. That fell through but that turned out pretty good. Now we are pursuing Vacation Rental property. That looks great.

Hey Brysen, welcome to the area. I'm a fellow VB real estate newbie. If you are still planning to do wholesaleing, I'm primarily looking at doing Fix and Flips, so maybe we can team up to complete deals together.
