Hi, @Ben Lilley.

Welcome to BP!

Be sure to check out the blogs and forums in addition to the podcasts.  You can learn a ton from the real estate experts on this site.

Best of luck to you!

@James Martin,

If you and Kenisha buy half of that street, you definitely need to talk with Steve Lockwood at the Frayser CDC (if you don't know him already).  He knows all the local players and can get you the neighborhood support that @Chris Clothier was talking about.

I say go for it!

@Hector Perez,

Thanks for the great info from Darren Hardy.

As you go through your Start Small Win Big Challenge training, please continue to share the lessons you learn with the BP community.  I'm sure we can all benefit from the wisdom and the reminders that you receive.  Plus, most of us are either starting small and wanting to get big or at big and wanting to get bigger!

Congrats again, my friend!

Thanks, @Account Closed.

If you ever have any more CrestCore issues, please feel free to contact me directly.  Like you, our intention is to make our city a better place for everyone, one house a time.

@Account Closed about passion and partners.  Your passion is very admirable and inspiring!

If you don't know, Steve Lockwood runs the Frayser CDC ([email protected]) and Steve Barlow is the Memphis attorney fighting blight. Greg Spillyards at Community Advisers ([email protected]) is doing great things in several underresourced areas as are lots of other private sector and non-profit guys and gals.  I know all of them would love to work along side you.

Send me a private message and I'd be happy to introduce you to any of them that you don't already know.

Please keep up the good fight.  Memphis needs you!

Hi, @Nicholas Henry.

Welcome to BiggerPockets.

Your plan sounds awesome!

Be sure to check out the blogs and podcasts as well as the forums.  You can learn a ton for the real estate experts on the site.

Also, you should try to connect with Jerry Allred and Brant Barnes both of whom are in Fayetteville.  They are stand up guys who are very active in the investment community in NW AR.

Best of luck to you!

Do you subscribe to SUCCESS magazine?

If not, sign up today.  It is one of the most inspiring and encouraging publications available for real estate investors.

Check out this recent SUCCESS article about BiggerPockets member Hector Perez from Houston, Texas!

As soon as I read the article, I looked Hector up on BP because I knew he would be on here.

Hector is a wholesaler, a flipper, and a buy and hold investor.  He's just like all of us!

(Even though I'm in Memphis, I connected with Hector because he is a like-minded real investor and a fan of SUCCESS magazine.  This is why I love BP!)

Please join me in congratulating Hector, and let's all keep pushing each other to achieve our dreams!

Hi, @Nate Ollie.

Great question!

I would definitely start with the large group meeting of MIG, which is the second Thursday of every month at 6pm.

The next meeting is Thu, Nov 12. We would love to have you there!

All the best,

Hi, @Nate Ollie.

Welcome to BiggerPockets.  Your plan sounds reasonable to me.  Wholesaling is how many people get started in the business.
