Another ARIZONA newbie joins the club...Hello gang!
Hi everyone,
I have been exploring this site for a little bit and felt it's finally time to introduce myself and become an active member. Thank you all for the great information I have received so far, and will continue to ingest in the future. It's quite overwhelming at first but I love the learning process of this career.
I live in the Phoenix, AZ area and own a small contracting company with a focus on flips and remodels. For the last year or so I have been working mainly for 2-3 different REI's who flip about 2-4 homes a month. I LOVE IT!! I really enjoy the fast pace and hard work of getting a property fixed up and going from dump to gorgeous home.
Other than the remodeling side of things I have a little RE experience. I was an appraiser for a couple of years back in the early 2000's so I am somewhat familiar with things like the MLS and record searches, but I have probably forgotten more then I know and I'm sure things have changed in the last decade.
It is finally time for me to gather up my courage and take on my own investments. I am a knowledge junky and attempt to learn everything I can about the subjects that intrigue me. Now it's time to put that information to work....
My investing goals are to start flipping 1-2 homes at a time, buy and hold 1-2 properties a year after my first year, and finally profit enough to start loaning money to other investors so that I can purchase some land and move my family and I out of the city and to a more peaceful rural setting. I hope to do this in the next 5 years. I also hope to acquire enough wealth to build a church and an animal rescue center for my wife at some point in my lifetime....wish me luck.
Any investors in the East Valley who are looking to pass on a legacy to one of the hardest working and most dedicated people you will ever meet please contact me. I will do whatever I can to make your career easier while absorbing what I can with an open heart.
Thanks again to all of the contributors. I look forward to being part of your community.
Respectfully,
Adam
