Very enthusiastic newbie from Fort Collins, CO

[Ben Cochran]

Hi everyone, my name is Ben Cochran and I am from Ft Collins, Co. I am very excited to be here at Biggerpockets! I have been employed in the oil and gas industry for the past 15 years and I'm currently stationed and writing from Angola, West Africa, and I feel like now is the right time to transition to REI. I have tried to educate myself as much as possible for the past couple of years on everything REI (fix n flip, fix n rent, wholesaling etc..)and continue doing so today. I have never done a flip before and I am hoping to network and meet someone locally that is willing to Partner/Mentor with me for my first flip. What do I bring to the table? I bring drive, passion, a great work ethic and a desire to transition to REI fulltime. I realize that starting out, I will be using a HML, so I do have a modest amount of capital of my own to help get me started. I feel like the hardest part of any endeavor is the first step, and I feel completely confident that right now is the time to finally pull the trigger! So any advice would be greatly appreciated and it would also be great to meet other like minded persons in my area. Best regards, Ben Cochran
