New Member from Lincoln, NE

[Brett Lofing]

Hello members of BP,

I'm Brett from Ashland, NE - right in between Lincoln and Omaha.   I bought my first property in January 2010.  I currently own two 7-plexes and two duplexes in Lincoln.  All properties were bank owned and bought directly from the bank that owned them.  I quit a 6 figure job a couple months ago in order to pursue real estate full time.  I have a wife and two little boys, so I would be lying if I said it was an easy decision!

My goals are to locate deals in the Lincoln area and possibly expand into Omaha.  I really like the multi family properties as rentals/buy and hold opportunities.  However, I am also interested in single family homes as well.  I don't have any experience with flipping or wholesaling, but as I learn and apply new methods for locating properties, I would like to expand into those areas as well.  All that being said, any recommendations on how to locate properties would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to BP and all of its members for the wealth of information.
