Hello everyone im Carlos from San Bernardino California. New to the site, I just finished the free ebook "guide to real estate investing" I'm interested in rehabing for the quick flip. Going the hard money way. A long long time ago I wanted to become an appraiser so I do have some schooling for that just never finished it. passion and desire wasn't up there not like it is now. Anyway just wanted to introduce myself. Thanks everyone. Have a great day

Welcome aboard to the BP community. You already have some tools in your toolbox....no pun intended. Now, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

Ok, now that you have taken your initial step, below are some quick links to get engaged.

However, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

    So I found a mentor on Craigslist turns out to be a broker also. Told him my ideas and offers me to be a dog-bird for his investors to earn extra money meanwhile I work towards my goals as a rehaber. I'm so happy, i see it as a foot in the door!
