Hi from Marlton NJ - new to BP
Hello BP-
I just decided to join and become a Pro member. I have been in real estate as a mortgage lender for 10 years but have decided to expand myself into the other side and now want to be an investor, rehabber and developer.
As a mortgage lender I cut out a niche for myself as a renovation lender. I run a division of a company that had focused on FHA 203k mortgages for 4 years and we are now starting to roll out conventional renovation loans as well.
Forever I have wanted to get into investing but my experiences had been bad- I currently own 3 properties- my primary which I had built for my family and we built this one right and have lots of equity already- however I have 2 other loser properties that are underwater but I am holding them and renting them out.
I came to BP to learn to find the right properties to buy and hold and flip. I am looking for investment deals as I have cash to buy quickly and do not have to rely on lenders (like myself :)). I have already listened to about a dozen of the podcasts and I am truly able to say I have learned an amazing amount of information already.
I have a passion for real estate from all angles and I love getting up in the morning to go to work as I love what I do. I will say that because of that passion this is a natural segway and I am so happy to have finally decided to pull the trigger. I have 2 boys under 2 and I am wanting to create a life that lets me enjoy them and be there when they grow up versus being at work all day. I by no means have any desire to not work as I will till the day I die however I would like to get to a point where I can do it on my terms and leave my kids a business should they want it.
So lets get ready to roll and I am extremely happy and proud to be part of this community- I am a sponge and will take all advice, mentoring, consturective criticism, whatever to achieve my goals- thank you for allowing me to be a part of it and I look forward to connecting with all of you!!!!
