I just did something I have NEVER done before... I ran a rehab project completely virtually—with a new team of people I'd never met—and the results are BEAUTIFUL! I spoke to the realtor who's listing the property yesterday. After completing his walkthrough, he called it "impressive." He mentioned there's something remarkable about successfully running a completely virtual rehab and told me I should be proud of myself. But honestly? Even before he said that, I was feeling like a peacock! Because let's face it—rehabs can be difficult. They can go sideways. Things can go wrong. And did they? Absolutely. Did I have to use countless brain cells being creative and problem-solving when issues arose? Yes. Did I have to negotiate prices like the father from "Everybody Hates Chris"? You bet. Did I have to build systems from scratch and encounter things I'd personally never dealt with and had no idea how to fix? Yes! (We don't have basements in Florida, so basement issues were like encountering purple aliens!) Did I even want to do a rehab in the first place? No. But I did it anyway, and now look at me... About to list a property in a growing market that will provide affordable housing for a family and increase neighborhood value—plus I now have a skill set I can repeat again and again. The obstacle truly is the way. Everything you're avoiding? The growth is in there. Just do it. I don't have any magic formula for you—just proof that pushing through the unknown leads to incredible results.

Hello everyone, my name is Albert I’m from DC but I currently reside in MD(Brandywine). I joined the group because I refuse to live the next 20 years struggling and living pay check to pay check. I’m excited to learn about detailed easier ways to get into real estate. I’m an entrepreneur by heart and trade. Not employed at the moment looking into getting certs in cyber security and specimen and sample collection, along with a few other things. 2025 GOALS: secure multiple streams of income (4-5), secure my first plot of land and property(gotta have somewhere to lay my head that’s mine)

Hello, my name is Patrick Herrington and I am from Polk County, Florida. More specifically small town named Haines City. What inspired me to join Red Lotus Prep is my desire for freedom from the rat race and having knowledge to pass down to my son. One goal I’m excited about achieving is actually taking action and starting. I believe in setting micro goals that lead to the big one so I’m looking forward to checking things off of my list. I’m excited to learn about credit and the tax deed process. I want to give a huge shoutout to fellow Floridian @Antoinette Apolon for starting this group and providing such great information. Thank you so much 🙏🏾

Hello, My name is Aleah. I am excited to be here and learn new things. It took me a while but I’m here and ready to put what I learned to use and build more. Thank you @Antoinette Apolon for the opportunity to learn and grow.
