Good evening fellow members. I would like to get you all's insight on a few things. What criteria do you want your Real Estate Agent, Contractor, Attorney, and CPA to meet when you are screening them to join your team? Also,when creating your LLC, do you all hold your properties under one or multiple LLCs? If so or not why?

Many Thanks,

Keritan

@Jack Butala Thank you for those tips. I will be sure to do them. Is there a certain forum where I should post my deals?

Good morning my fellow peers, mentors, etc! My name is Keritan Shelby, nickname KL, and I am 23 years old. To give a little backsight on my upbringing, I am from Mount Olive, MS. The town has a population of about 500 people, but I graduated from Mendenhall High School which is another small town. I claim both as my home towns though because they both had a major impact on my life thus far. I did not have much to look forward to growing up, and I could easily be on the street selling dope or worse if I did not have a few people in my life telling me to go to school. More things impacted my current mindset, and at a high level I just want to get to the point where my mother does not have to work anymore, and I can give back to my community and enrich other's lifestyles. I went ahead and graduated from Hinds Community College and transferred to Mississippi State where I obtained my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering in December 2016. I started to learn more about finances as soon as I started working. I moved to Greenville, TX to start my career in Software Engineering. During this timeframe, I learned a lot about how the wealthy approaches everyday and try to mimic their mindset. I started investing for the long haul with 401(K)s, stocks, etc, but I quickly realized that I will not be able to reach my goals if I stayed on this path. Ironic story alert. I am big into lifting weights and achieving my optimal athletic performance, I like the sound of that haha, but I managed to get an Inguinal Hernia while working out. I had surgery on March 21st, and I was out from work for about a month. I believe this was one of the BEST things that could have happened to me. While I was out, I happened to see a video on YouTube about Mark Whitten and what he did to achieve financial independence. I was starting to dislike my job anyways, and seeing how he was able to get where I wanted to be sparked a fire inside of me. Long story short, I ended up here on Bigger Pockets. I have read numerous books, favorite is Rich Dad Poor Dad of course, listened to many podcasts, changed my mindset, and now I am ready to start investing in Real Estate to achieve all of my goals. I am looking for Duplexes in or near Dallas, TX, DFW area, or in MS for house hacking and eventually I want to buy a 4 or 12 multi-family unit. I am looking forward to communicating with more people trying to reach financial freedom and bettering our communities!

Thanks,

Keritan
