Hello,

I, along with my wife, have been flipping houses for 16ish years.  The states we’ve flipped houses in include (in chronological order), Kansas, Oregon, Idaho, Maine, Missouri and were looking to move to Kentucky. Weve lived in even more states including Alaska, New Mexico and Oklahoma.  We do all the work ourselves, including demo, tile, paint, plumbing, electrical, structural and I’m a Realtor in AR and MO.  We have a pretty good system and it has made us some money but we are looking to move on to the next phase, commercial/mixed use multifamily.  We prefer older properties with character, weird properties (that are functional), historic properties and generally things worth saving.  Our goal is to make a nice, safe, healthy property (that cash flows) for people to raise kids in.  Community is really important to us, we're not interested in being slum lords even if it does cash flow.  Other than real estate we love to travel, (almost hit all 50 states with the kids), she is into textiles (knitting, sewing, weaving, spinning) and I’m an airplane/helicopter mechanic, photographer, and do a bit of sewing myself.  I’m always open to talk about real estate, aircraft, business or psychology. 

Cheers

    Could probably help you get connected with aircraft side- friends with helicopter outfits -and more flying here per capita than anywhere... but real estate - yeah... that's why we're on BP!

    That is tempting. We lived down in Homer for a while, but haven't thought about investing there... shoot me a message and we'll get together and talk. 

    Cheers!
