1st Deal(s) ... Coming to town to get them moving.

[Steve French]

Hello folks:

Off the sidelines (researched/read/convinced myself for two years) and off to the races!

From ATL, lived in Seattle for 10 years, now investing in, and considering relocating back to, ATL.

Bought 5 full rehabs through multiple deals in multiple locations inside 285.  Some of my money, some financing, father is the GC (which makes the full-gut across the continent not as scary a risk as it sounds).

Spent two months wondering why no one would take our money for a house, once we figured out what worked, we suddenly realized we needed to think a little bigger (was doing it all my cash, now I'm good with some leverage).

I've got a nice w2 that I'd love to dump for half the salary, if I could generate it, but I'm thinking that might be many years from now.

Anyways, I'm heading to Atlanta Wednesday morning through Sunday morning.  If anyone wants to meet up and compare notes or could use a quick scan of something while I'm out there, just let me know.

@Patrick Miller apologies, that was a bit rushed.  I suppose it was a bit of a 'first deal' post, a bit of a request if other investors wanted to get together, maybe I can fill a hole, maybe you have something to fill one of mine.  Finally, if anyone was investing out of state for things ITP, I could do a drive-by or check a neighborhood out while I'm there.  To be clear, I'm not charging anything for this, just making connections :)
