I'm a new member to BiggerPockets (well kind of), looking to get more involved in the BiggerPockets community and become more engaged with investors from the Cedar Valley in eastern Iowa.
I have not invested yet, but plan to as I connect more with other investors in my area and as I learn more from those around me. I plan to work towards getting my real estate license over the next year, to help me as I pursue great deals to purchase.
What I lack in owning real estate, I make up for in my knowledge of construction and remodeling. My dad is a contractor, and I have been on jobsites since before I was 10. My parents also owned an apartment complex, so I grew up cleaning out units between tenants, and maintaining the units. Finally, I bought the house I currently live in when I was 19, and I have completely rehabbed the home, all the way to stripping the home to the studs inside and out. I have knowledge in electrical work (my grandfather was an electrician for many years), plumbing, HVAC, and everything from the foundation to the roof - inside and out.
Currently, I am a Lowe's ProServices Sales Specialist, so I can use my knowledge in construction, rentals, and flips to help investors in my area. I'm hoping to be able to help investors on this community with the knowledge that I have gained over the last fifteen or so years.
