Hello BiggerPockets community!  My name is Dan from Indianapolis, Indiana.  I have been investing in real estate with my wife Donna since 2007.  We currently have 3 properties (1 house and 2 duplexes) that we manage and lease in northeast Indianapolis.  With 2 of the properties, we have taken them from being boarded up in foreclosure/short sale and made them into solid positive cash flow machines.  We do almost all of the work ourselves except kick carpet and roofing.  We have extensive remodeling experience with dozens of kitchens and bathrooms under our belts.  We have learned allot of dos and don'ts along the way but are hoping to share our knowledge and glean from the knowledge of others.

BTW - we both work full time jobs in totally unrelated fields. REI is in our spare time and we enjoy the challenges as well as the financial benefits. The profits from REI has put 2 of our children through college with them starting their professional careers debt-free.

What we are looking to learn about and potentially do is flips.  Always looking to learn and get advice from someone that has been there.  Being mentored by someone in the area would be awesome.

I am just beginning to use this forum and I see there is a overwhelming wealth of information.  Thank you for allowing me to join and hopefully I can contribute more than I can take.
