Hi, I'm a new member interested in flipping homes in Boulder County Colorado.  My investing experience involves 0 deals so far -- unless you count flipping our last house, selling it by owner, then binging on HGTV flipping shows and getting a real estate license last year.  The latter led to unforeseen consequences; I'm now an accidental buyer's agent for investor friends, but my primary real estate goal is to flip like Tarek & Christina.  (My husband's goal is that I start looking like Christina).  Anyway, nice to be here and I hope to connect with some of you in my neck of the woods soon.

    Hey Jeanne.

    My story mimics yours, and I am down the street in Longmont. I am hoping to host a meetup in one of our beautiful city parks when the weather gets warmer.

    Welcome to BP. You will love it here!

    Mindy : Thanks for the warm welcome!  There's a local meetup you should check out.

    Larry: well, Louisville is friendly, has a great library, there's no traffic, it's close to Boulder & Denver (but no traffic); has a fun little main street with a rich coal mining history; there's an emphasis on open space and recreation; and the residents are generally intelligent and thoughtful.

    Welcomev to the forum. I grew up in louisville across the field from LES and my parents still live there.  Are you an old resident louisville or are you one of the newer crowd?  

    This forum is a plethora of information and it's always worth a search for answers you might be seeking.

    Dan & Dimitriy: Thanks -- much appreciated!  Dan, if I had a better arm I could throw a ball and hit the LES field.

    Welcome! 

    I'm working on finding some land up there to build on;) Great area!

    @Matt M.

     That must be a interesting search with the lack of buildable land in the area.  At least specifically in Louisville.  Are you looking for it for personal use or investment?

    @Jeanne Batza I loved growing up backing up to those fields.  If you ever want to meet up let me know.  I live in Erie, but am usually in Louisville on weekends and during the Street Faire in the summer.

    @Jeanne Batza always good to see another Colorado resident find Bigger Pockets, it truly is a wonderful resource! If you want to do flips, in addition to the Ultimate Beginner's Guide astutely mentioned by @Larry Fried, I would also recommend  the flipping houses guide http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/07.... 

    You may also want to check out The Book on Flipping Houses by J Scott http://get.biggerpockets.com/flippingbook/

    Once you are ready to do a deal, the house flipping calculator will be a great resource http://www.biggerpockets.com/flip-analysis,  

    Good luck!

    @Dan Mackin I missed out on a HUD home on 1 acre last year for $280k. To the north was a property at $2mln and the South $7+ mln. Maybe next time...
