I've flipped homes, own and manage rental properties, wholesaled, and been a hard money lender. My goal is find deals and match them with investors who are ready to jump on the opportunity, and problem solve real estate transactions when they come up.
Brent Bowers – Bought my first buy and hold April 2007 and have been wholesaling homes since 2013. I wholesaled 32 properties in 2017 all while working a full-time job as an Army officer by building a team. I have buy and hold real estate investments, whole-taled properties, and have flipped homes to maximize profit while minimizing the amount of rehab required.

@Richard Thomas - Let's connect when it comes closer and we can find a time to get together discuss what you and your wife's goals are and what we can do to make it happen or at least point you in the right direction. We would also be happy to do a conference call, Skype, or FaceTime meeting in the mean time as well. Just let me know what would be best for you guys!
My name is Joan Phillips. Someone at the Meetup at Mi Mexico told me about this meeting. My husband and I are in the educational stage of investing and would like to attend. Unfortunately, I cannot attend until October 2. I hope to meet you then, Colin.

Thanks for organizing this @Colin Smith. I should be able to come for the first time to the 10/2 meeting too, @Joan Phillips! Really looking forward to meeting others in the community. We've got two rentals but we kind of came into investing sideways so I'm enjoying learning more.
