About Me...How I got started to this point.

My name is Adrian Johnson and I am 27 soon to be 28.  I have a son name Christian who recently turned 1.  I work at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia as my primary job, but I want to switch that to a full time investor.  I bought my first house when I was 21 and a year later bought my first rental property.  Even at a young age I knew I wanted to be involved in real estate as a investor.

 I did years of research and worked on building my credit until a point where I could really get out in investor on a larger scale.  I started my business, "Black Shield, LLC" back in 2008.  I still wasn't able to do a lot of business due to expenses of buying properties, I guess my main focus was to be a rehabber and fix and flip and also fix and rent.

 Fast forward to the end of 2009.  I started do more research on wholesaling and figure that will be the way for me to make money and get deeper involved with real estate.  I still needed more money to work with to get deals done.  So I decided to sell shares of my business to family and friends.  First my long-term friend Jeff joined. Then I got my other long-term friend John to join.  My two cousins (brothers) Paris and Trey joined.  Then, my high school friend Donnis joined.  So the 6 of us are the partners of Black Shield, LLC.

We now research time and money and got the opportunity for our business to do wholesaling, short sales, and renting.  We are always looking for ways to network with other real estate professionals to get deals done.
