A little about me
I'm a full time single mom of a 4 year old, and I have an 18 year old that lives on his own in one of my apartments- (yes, he HAS to pay rent) and both boys work with me on rehabbing houses.
I am learning the business of wholesaling, and enjoying buying houses to lease option to people who dream of owning their own home.
I get into all of the process, from finding the deals, to rehabbing (with my new GREAT crew), and finding people to move in and fall in love with the house.
My joy in life is setting an example for my boys to make something happen in life, starting from nothing. We all learn it's hard work, not an overnight easy road to travel, but well worth the effort. My 18 year old is looking for the chance to buy his first house to fix up.
My other joy is to watch the faces of people moving into a home to take ownership where they never thought it would have been possible.
Hobbies
My hobbies:
*meeting new people
*being outside in springtime!
*checking out houses for sale! (we do this for a THRILL!).
*fishing when the fish are biting better than the mosquitos.
*reading a good book
*enjoying what everyday life brings my way.
Family
It's my boys & I!
My parents & siblings live within an hour away, in all different directions, so when someone asks me to go look at a house for them, I get an excuse to go visit someone!
Message Control
Reason I'm here
This is the site to be on if you are in real estate! I am here to network, meet new investors, learn from my fellow investors, and read about updated news & happenings around the world in regards to real estate. There are also amazing people on here to help guide me in the right direction. Can't imagine being anywhere else!
About Me
I'm 42, single mom of two boys (18 & 4). After seeing that running a day care two shifts was going to be something that I didn't want to do the rest of my life, I started looking for other ways to keep my youngest at home. I found it by investing in properties and doing lease options on them. I currently have 12 properties in 5 different cities around my area. I am learning and growing as I go. It is important to me to gain as much knowledge as I can to avoid mistakes (costly ones) along the way.
I have just started working in wholesaling and learning the ropes in that area. If I ever get bored in realestate, I know there are many different ways to work the business, and enjoy learning a new nitch from time to time. Right now, I'm learning wholesaling.
