Hello BP from Las Vegas!

[Paul Hoeppner]

Hi, my name is Paul Hoeppner.  I'm from Las Vegas, NV.

I've been becoming more and more interested in real estate within the past 2 years.  In November of 2013, I purchased a new home in Las Vegas and had plans to sell my old home.  After doing some discussions with investors I knew, and doing plenty of research online, books, articles, etc., I decided I would rent out my previous home.  So far so good!

My goals in real estate are longevity.  I want to be able to generate cash flow, while continuing to grow my net worth.

Right now, I work as a tour manager / production manager for a musician.  The biggest challenge for me, is that it requires a substantial amount of travel.  Last year alone, I flew over 400,000 miles.

Although the amount of travel I do takes away from time I would like to spend on learning about and working on real estate deals, it also brought me to BP.  I just searched "real estate" on podcasts on iTunes, and BP is the one I enjoy the most.  I have a lot of time to kill on airplanes, and the podcasts are a great tool for me.

Looking forward to jumping into discussions on the forums.

Paul

HI Paul,

I'm  newbie here currently living in Guam where real estate investing is very challenging due to local laws and politics. I will be relocating to Las Vegas (where my in laws are from) in December/January and plan to launch into some wholesaling first, then eventually buy and hold, maybe some flips. I know you do lots of traveling but are you "based" in Vegas? How many months out of the year would you say you are there? Please keep me in your contacts. Maybe we can do some joint venturing on some deals in the future? All the best to you and your future investing!
