Garrett John Law - Real Estate Investor
I'm Garrett, a passionate and driven real estate investor with a deep-rooted fascination for the dynamic world of real estate. My journey into the realm of property investments has been shaped by a combination of education, hands-on experience, and a strategic mindset.
Educational Foundation:
In 2017, I embarked on a journey to acquire comprehensive knowledge in real estate by obtaining my realtor's license. While I never ventured into real estate brokerage, the pursuit fueled my desire to delve deeper into the intricacies of the industry. Seeking to define success on my terms, I enrolled in UCLA Extension's real estate investment and finance certificate program. This program not only expanded my knowledge but also equipped me with the ability to decipher critical metrics such as ROI and cash-on-cash return.
Scaling Through Partnerships:
As I navigate the intricate landscape of real estate investing, I am eager to establish connections and partnerships. Whether collaborating with passive investors, hard money lenders, wholesalers, contractors, or realtors, my goal is to build a network that enhances the overall capacity and impact of my real estate ventures. With an eye on the future, I aspire to transition from single-family homes to commercial real estate, and perhaps even delve into capital raising and development.
Investment Philosophy:
Driven by a desire to apply hard work, strategic thinking, and robust systems and processes to my endeavors, I am drawn to the tangible nature of real estate investments. Unlike the passive nature of the stock market, I find satisfaction in the possibility of sweat equity and the stability offered by long-term buy and hold properties.
Focus on Cleveland, Ohio:
My attention is firmly set on Cleveland, Ohio, where I spent five impactful years. The city's affordability, coupled with significant opportunities and a revitalization trend, particularly in the health industry, makes it an ideal market for my investment strategies. Through my website, I aim to explore off-market deals and connect with like-minded professionals who share a vision for success in this thriving city.
Looking Ahead:
Within the next year, I am determined to secure my first deal, starting with single-family homes as a foundation for my expanding real estate portfolio. My vision extends beyond mere transactions; I envision a career marked by meaningful connections, strategic collaborations, and a lasting impact on the real estate landscape.
