Hello (belated) from Louisville, KY
Not my first post, but I neglected to introduce myself before and I don't want to be rude, so here goes. I'm Brian from Louisville, KY. I began acquiring SFR's in 2001 and did ok for a while, all things considered. I didn't have the foggiest idea what I was doing and I REALLY wish I'd stumbled across this site back then before I got myself in hot water. But, long story short, I found myself way over-leveraged when the recession hit and took a bath when the markets (I had three rentals in three states) tanked. But, I'm still here and just crazy enough to try again. I'm confident that I've learned from my mistakes and can't possibly do any worse the second time around...and with any luck maybe this time I'll actually come out ahead.
For now, I have one property that I've tried to sell with no luck, and I've just about decided to bite the bullet and just rent it out again so that I can move on with my other investment goals. For now I'm interested primarily in learning the ropes of wholesaling distressed homes and studying the market for SFR's in the Louisville and Lexington metro areas (I've lived in KY seven years but this will be my first time investing in those markets). Thanks for reading and best wishes to each and every one of you.
