Hello all. New member from Columbus, Oh.

[Paul Boldizar]

I'm a full time real estate investor living in Columbus, Ohio. I've been investing in real estate for almost 10 years, the last 3 full-time. I've been mostly "small time"; buying rehabbing and holding about 1 house per month. I also do some wholesaling, fix & flip, RTO, short sales, etc...basically whatever pays the bills. A lot of the buy & rehabs i do either out of pocket, or using one of my small hard money lenders. Recently though I found an Angel Investor in Canada who's controls a lot of money. We're finalizing our operating agreement now, and things should really be taking off quickly for me if he's serious about the amount of money he's going to be investing with me. I've started considering buying REO packages, small ones at least, but have no experience. Columbus has an amazingly large inventory of REO properties, which i've been taking advantage of, but I have no experience in purchasing in bulk. I read through almost every post on the Bulk REO forum, and now I'm even more convinced of my ignorance. I'm hoping to extract as much info as i can from the pro's on here, and maybe even find a mentor who will allow me to pick his\her brain. Let's be clear though...the amount of money i'm going to be dealing with seems large to me, but might be laughable to some of the heavy hitters out there. Hopefully i wont be laughed off of the forum :D
