New to Bigger Pockets / Real Estate / General Contracting

[Thomas Porter]

Good Morning Bigger Pockets, 

My Name is Tom Porter out of Temecula Ca. I grew up in the construction (residential & Commercial) world since I was 5 years old for a total of 32 years. Last 17 years I have been running work as a superintendent for a general contractor.

About the first of the year I was talking with a friend that is in real estate and part of bigger pockets, he has been a inspiration to go out on my own as a general contractor (due to my W2 and cooperate frustrations) and showed me the bigger pockets pod cast that I have been listing to since. 

I guess I’m writing on here for a few reasons,

1) kinda scared to go out on my own “not going to lie”  even though I retain a ton of skills and contacts for construction                                                                        

 2) looking to network so I head the right direction on this new adventure.

3) I’m building a short term rental (Sea container home) in wine country and any advise on managing it,  I would appreciate it

Thanks for your time reading this, tried to keep it short.
