Ready Willing and licensed Agent seeking adivce in Hudson Valley

[Daniel Hason]

Hello BP World,

 I have been a resident of the Hudson Valley ( in the town of Hudson) for the past six years. I do love it here and know the valley is prime for investing. The property values are of reasonable price (compared to New York city where I grew up). I worked under a general contractor fixing historical homes for a few years and obtained my real estate license just a few months ago.

My near term goal is to fix and flip in the area. Long term goal is real estate Development.

Id like to only focus on my near term goals at the moment for the sake of this post. I have been searching the mls and have spoken to wholesalers and home builders in the area. I have spoken to the general contractor I work with who is not interested in fixing and flipping. In the brokerage I work in, no one is interested in doing any investing themselves.

While in the brokerage office I am learning more the language of an agent. I attend and participate the local REIA's and will continue to do so. I host a bi-weekly BP meetup in the town I live in which is marketed on facebook/BP/and meetup. My meet up is split, we have a general discussion one week and play the Cashflow 101 board game the other week. I do enjoy the meetup I host. I happily share all the info I know all the info regarding the books/webinars/podcsats.

I know I have a foot in the door working as an agent/contractor. I'm certainly getting hit with analysis paralysis.

I currently live with my girlfriend in a home she purchased. We air bnb out the bedrooms which we don't use. That business is going well.  Im looking for fix and flips or someone active in the flipping game in the area. I understand the knowledge is to be learned in the field. I've digested a lot of information regarding investing. I know its competitive out there and I also know there are deals to be had still.

I do have access to private money (that's a big help). I am licensed and do have access to MLS (that's a big help). However, I'm humbly seeking help in getting started either with partnering or helping someone with their flip. I'm wondering if you're out there in the Hudson Valley.

As for now, I will continue my time here in the brokerage.

Look forward to investing :)
