Investor from North Haven, CT

[Kyle Samuel]

Hi everyone.

I have been reading posts on this website and listening to the podcasts for a little while now, but finally decided to actually create a profile. I graduated with my bachelors from Quinnipiac University and then got my masters from UConn. My degrees were all in accounting, so the next step was getting my CPA, and finding a good job. Well I got that "good job", and it was everything but good to me. 9 months later, I quit and decided real estate was going to be my next move.

That was a couple years ago, since then I've been involved in real estate full time and have bought, rehabbed, and sold 5 houses on my own. So far, I've rehabbed mostly lower end homes with $175-275k ARVs. My goals for this year include greatly increasing my marketing campaign for rehabs, rehabbing 5 or more houses, rehabbing at least 1 high-end home, buying my first multi-family property as a rental, and expanding my network of associates that I do business with.

I've put a lot of effort into finding a larger, high-end rehab and in 2 weeks I will be closing on my first large scale rehab. The house is close to 5,000 sq ft and has a $500k+ ARV. I can't wait to smash the first cabinet and get started.

I came across biggerpockets.com while searching for information on how to get started in real estate. So far, you guys haven't let me down yet!

I look forward to learning from others as well as helping out wherever I can.
