Newbie REI from North New Jersey just moved to Phoenix

Trying to follow Josh's advice on intros. How did I do...?!

Hello everyone,

I'm Mike Dmuchoski and I just drove cross-country from North NJ to move to the Phoenix, AZ area. I'm leaving 10 years of corporate experience where I worked for a chemical company to follow my passion for real estate investing. I have backgrounds in engineering, finance, and marketing that I believe will help offset my limited experience in REI.

I want to rehab houses to either flip or rent (landlording). Renovating my own home (mostly with my 2 hands!) got me into real estate but I hesitated to pull the trigger on investing. So now I'm taking the plunge and going to develop a business, not just work it on the side. BP podcasts have been a great asset to help build knowledge and confidence.

I look forward to networking with you and can't wait to get going.

Best, Mike

    @Mike Dmuchoski Welcome to BP and Phoenix. Maricopa and Pinal county have been my world for 5 years now. As @Account Closed mentioned, our market has changed dramatically over the past few years. Not much in the way of buy and hold and flips are not easy to come by but certainly exist. Let me know if you need help finding your way.
