My name is Kyle Starkey, and my background is in Marketing and General Business Optimizations and workflows. I have had substantial success with everything from SEO, to third-party e-commerce platforms like Amazon. I have recently moved from Denver to the east coast for family and want to start my new chapter in life with Real Estate being a big part of it.

LinkedIn if interested in more of my background.

I have been a long time lurker of the real estate world trying to figure out how to get my foot in the door.

When I was in the Navy, I spent my time underway reading every real estate/self-help book I could find. I bought my first forclosure townhouse in Aurora, CO. I tried, before the crash, to take 80% equity out to buy another unit but had zero luck at securing traditional funding through a bank. Luckily never went upside down.

My goals with Real Estate are to fund my retirement and make a great side hustle paycheck along the way. I am interested in flipping houses, multi-units/single families BRRRRs.

While I am here to learn and will help where I can; I joined the forums because of "The Book on Rental Property investing" and the chapters on how financing works. Before the book, I was pretty deterred after my experience in 2009 with lending from banks. But now I have hope :)

I would love to find a mentor on here to learn from in the area. Or a part-time gig to get through the transition from Denver to East coast.

After reading the forums for a few days, I am curious:

When you mention "doors," is that units? So a quadplex is four doors...
What are your end goals?

Forums have never been my favorite form of education, but I will be checking in here often, and I am setting up the alerts for locals :).
