Contractor From Virginia

[Barry Mason]

I'm a licensed general contractor having worked in several areas in Virginia (Hampton Roads, Roanoke and Smith Mtn Lake). I also have an Engineering and IT background.  I've done IT work exclusively since the economic downturn of 2007/8 but my passion is building. I've done everything from small repairs, a few whole house rehabs and a few new house builds. My biggest was a large home using green construction materials and methods.  I've worked with my brother on a couple of flipping projects of which I enjoyed immensely.

I'm desirous to learn as much as possible about all aspects of investing and then pursue what's right for me. I'm also very interested to know if there are others with a similar background/skills and how they invest...until I joined BiggerPockets I was only aware of flipping and rentals.
