Hello Everyone
Carmie here from Chicago's southern suburbs. I'm self-employed as a
newbie investor, a candle distributor, and a portal director. I have two
and a half grandkids and four grown kids that keep me happy and busy
(not necessarily in that order.)
I tried investing a couple of years ago and lost two houses to foreclosure.
Learned a lot during the process. And gave up for a while.
Now I want to focus on assigning and/or flipping with preforeclosures,
short sales and reos. With the support of this network I feel much more
confident I can succeed doing things the right way.
Thanks!
P.S. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!
