About Tariq Thomas

Tariq Thomas Real Estate Investor

Real estate has always been more than a profession for me; it’s been a journey filled with lessons, growth, and countless opportunities to build lasting wealth. I’m Tariq Thomas, and I’ve been navigating the world of real estate investing since 2002, starting in my home state of New Jersey. What began as a single investment quickly grew into a passion, propelling me to expand into Detroit, MI in 2003, Baltimore, MD in 2004 and Harrisburg, PA by 2006. Today, with over two decades of experience, I’m excited to share my story and expertise with you through this channel, First Class Flipping.

As the founder of THG of MD and my lead generating company Yes I Pay Cash – We Buy Houses, I have developed a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of investment real estate from wholesaling, buy and hold as well as fix and flip real estate. I have already walked in your shoes and know what it takes to help you kick start your real estate investing career into high gear.

TESTIMONIALS

You really break things down in bite sized pieces and make it easy to understand. Definitely glad that I signed up for your mentor program. Already started using some of the techniques and have my first deal under contract!

R. Jones

RLJ Investments, Washington, DC

I learned some new strategies that I was able to implement into my business. Learning how to find motivated sellers directly helps me eliminate the middle man and adds to my overall profits! All of the forms are helpful also. Definitely worth signing up for.

Mark L.

Fantastic information! Was just the missing pieces to the puzzle that I needed to connect all of the dots. Very straight forward and easy to understand. Landed my first wholesale deal in about 30 days and have 2 more under contract!
