NEW INVESTOR AND FLIPPER LOOKING FOR MENTOR AND HARD MONEY LENDERS
Hi
I am a about ready to take a plunge into this new area of my life. Which will be life long. Investing in rental property and flipping some along the way that doesn't make financial sense to rent out. Of course with a lot of learning and more learning. Now it's time to get experience. Just like my first business.
Any one flipping in or investing in Colorado?
Thanks, Joe

Hello "BP Newbie" and welcome to Bigger Pockets.
In the meantime here are 7 tips to help you grow your business using BP:
1. New to BP?
2. Develop your own business strategy. -- Don’t just be a “jack-of-all-trades"
3. Grow your business by developing your business plan. - Remember there is a difference between goals and a plan.
4. Locate and attend several different local REIAs as they’re great opportunities to network and meet wholesalers, lenders, and contractors.
5. Stay away from the “guru” sales-pitch events - they rarely increase your investment knowledge, they merely empty your wallet!
6. Spend 30 minutes a day on Bigger Pockets by connecting with “colleagues,” perusing blogs and videos, and engaging with others on the forums:
7. Set yourself up to receive free alerts to be notified of subjects that interest you:
