New from the Louisville Ky Area
Been reading the site for about 2 months now trying to learn as much as possible. Decided to finally sign up. My area of focus for now is to fix & flip.
Found a property through my agent that I was able to walk through before it went to auction on HomeSearch.com. I was the highest bidder on the property but I did not meet the 'reserve price'. Was contacted by HS.com and they asked if I was willing to go higher and I said I was not. The bank accepted my bid and I am now under contact.
Very excited to get this going and to keep learning from the rest of you and hopefully be able to provide valuable feedback on my experiences.

Hello Andrew. You came to the right place! I'm a buy/fix and hold investor in the Bay in CA. But you'll find a variety of all strategies here on the website. A few tips on the website and on meeting some fellow investors:
Search for local meetups here or google a local REI club to network with other investors. On the site, the "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and so do the forums. You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the 'vote' button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are 'awards' to earn on your profile. Good luck on everything!
