Small landscape business owner. Been in it 15 years and it's hard to impossible to make it in this industry working for someone else. Pretty much burnt out at this point, and excited to move towards fix and flips as my "job" while also building a portfolio in rentals and esp multifamily.

Tons of great education, networking, events, etc. 

Shout out to @Account Closed, thanks for a fun and enlightening meeting this afternoon! This guy knows a whole lot about the subject-to method of real estate and has been doing it for several decades. I had not heard of anyone with much experience prior to this, although i have heard the term here and there. 

If anyone is looking for another tool to add to your investing arsenal, and this includes passive investors- talk to this guy!!

hey just heard about @Chris Clothier's company for turn key investing! 

the book on Flipping Houses by J Scott and published by Bigger Pockets is an EXCELLENT resource!
