Hello everyone. I am a new member to bigger pockets. I currently work in the aerospace industry however I am looking to expand into real estate investing among the masses. I kind of just stumbled upon bigger pockets while researching various topics in RE development. I am not a developer or builder of any sorts. However, my ambitions are to become both of those. Right now I am interested in buy and hold rentals to generate cash flow as well as finding out the details about house flipping seeing there are many different ways to flip houses. Hopefully I can learn a great deal more about the nuances of real estate investing and pick up as many do’s and don’ts as possible along my journey. I’m all about due diligence and being as informed as possible before taking on big endeavors.

Welcome to BP. Your in luck there is a Black Diamond meeting tonight in Waltham. I highly recommend you go. Also get active on BP to learn this world. Listen to all the podcasts on your way to work, and go pro. If you are all about due Diligence it will be the best way to size up a deal with the deal calculators.
Good luck!
Matt
