Quote from @Henry Clark:

What type of businesses did you do before. I would try to tie those experiences and skill sets to your REI path.

Work backwards from your $300,000 annual target to monthly say $25,000 per month. Then look at different REI to scale to that number.

Keep in mind most REI is a combination of monthly cashflow and appreciation. Recommend you go after both. You can always sale on your date and convert appreciation to monthly cashflow.


Hey Henry! I was involved in a bunch of industries—from wellness and gyms to digital marketing and consumer products. At the end of the day, the backbone of every business is pretty much the same: you need a strong, committed team. And at the top, you need three key people: an artist (to deliver a great product), a manager (to keep things running smoothly), and an entrepreneur (to drive it forward). Plus, keeping things as simple as possible is always a win!

Welcome @Wesley Peixoto!  I highly recommend you start going to meetups.  There is a good one in the Stamford area hosted by Brandon Chisholm.  There are others from Brian Almeda, @Stephanie Cabral, @Brandon Rush, @Ryan Luby, @Devin Peterson and CTREIA.  All of these are posted on our local real estate facebook groups.

In any of these events, you will meet like minded entrepreneurs who are also looking to grow.  I attend many of them myself.

I'd be happy to connect.  If interested, send me a DM.


Awesome! Thank you, I'll definitely reach out

Hi Everyone,

I’m Wesley, a 57-year-old entrepreneur originally from Brazil. I moved to the U.S. 10 years ago and have since started and sold four small businesses. Now, I’m curious about real estate investing.

I have some experience flipping a couple of houses, and although I have a ton of flaws, one of my strengths is being resourceful and assembling amazing teams—I’m always looking for people better than me at what they do— what seems to be a good fit for real estate.

If I commit to this path, my goal is to generate a net income of $300,000 per year by December 2030. I’m open to flipping, renting, or exploring other strategies.

My mantra is to test new things “fast and cheap,” so I’ll probably begin investing locally in CT before considering otehr markets across the US. 

I’d love to connect with local pros who can share advice, experiences, or insights to help me get started. I’m also a big believer in giving back, so I hope to contribute to this community as well.

Looking forward to learning and connecting with you all!
