Denvers' Newest Investor

[Kyle Thomas]

Hey everyone! My name is Kyle and I am excited to begin my journey as a real estate investor. I have a lot of learning to do but I am a big fan of the BP Community and hope to not only use it as a resource but also become a resource for others one day. 

A little bit about me, I am 29 and originally from Cleveland, Ohio. I went to school for Marketing & Communications and I've operated in the Casino Marketing Industry for just shy of a decade. I recently accepted the role of Regional Casino Marketing Manager and moved to Denver, CO. My family comes from a very poor neighborhood and we didn't have much growing up but my parents were able to stress the value of education to me and my brothers. I've been blessed enough to use the skills I've acquired over the years to pull myself out of the cycle of madness that I witnessed trapping the young men I grew up with. I now seek to build generational wealth to provide for my legacy, a foundation of success.

As far as my real estate goals; My initial strategy includes wholesaling to build capitol and possibly branch out into buy & hold. 

I'm also not ALL business, I am a huge movie buff, I love all genres. Very eclectic music tastes from EDM and Rap to 80s classics, I've been on a d4vd, ekkstacy, & Vacations kick recently. Open to new friendships and networking as well.

Lets connect!

Hey Kyle, welcome to CO! Thanks for joining BiggerPockets!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Go to the Search bar, and look for some local members in your area! Reach out to a few of the folks, perhaps those with hundreds or thousands of posts in this forum, and connect. You can do that here.

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors put together by Dave Meyer and available for all BiggerPockets members.

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!
