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.
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.
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.
Nice to have you here on BiggerPockets. If you need any assistance with your local marketing campaign, I would love to help you. Good luck in your investing!
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....
