The Start

I thought it might be best to start with a brief history of how I got into the real eatate business. 

My real estate career really started by accident. I bought my 1st house, a fixer upper, in 1999. It was a fixer upper because that was all my wife and I could afford at the time. Over a 2 year period we put SOME money and ALOT of sweat equity into it. During that time,  my father-in-law recognized the progress made on our home. He also had helped us with some projects around the house. While helping my wife and I he probably came to the conclusion that I had some natural gifts and certainly some liabilities for the real estate business! 

It was in early 2002 that he approached me about partnering with  him as a real estate investor. We would go on to own many rental properties in the area. Eventuality we

 leveraged the rentals into a thriving renovation and resale business as well.

Along the way I got my real estate sales license In 2009. Since then I have formed a sales team helping buyers and sellers reach their real estate goals. In 2013 I took a job with Coldwell Banker as a sales manager and business coach. To date, I have coached hundreds of agents 1 on 1 to help them grow their real estate businesses. 

Through all of the changes in my career I have had a passion for real estate investing. I have continued to renovate homes and hold rental properties for positive cash flow the entire time. In this blog I would like to share with you my successes and failures to help make your real estate investment experience as positive as possible. Included in the post,

are a few photos of my most recent flip completed in the fall of 2019.

One quick favor! Before you go please tell me in the comments how you got into the real estate business. I would love to hear the story! 

Enjoy your day! Andy
