My name is Josh and I am currently my own boss of my flooring installation biz.
Long story short, since I was 14 I had been working for my dad in residential construction. After dropping out of college I worked two jobs; one selling insurance and the other in home improvement retail. Eventually I got into telecomunications. And one day I got sick of being someone else's b**** so I quit my job and began my biz.
A year ago I went to a house flipping seminar and I saw a proceas that worked and that I understood. But I was in my startup and about to move from IL to IN so the timing was just not right.
I want to build a network and team to begin flipping houses this year. I need everything from investors to contractors to mentors. I am glad I found Bigger Pockets and would be grateful for any advice/help I receive.
