Hello from Sunny Arizona
My name is James Young. I have been following posts on the Bigger Pockets forums for a little while and found the input to be quite informing. I am looking forward to joining the discussions.
I am a relatively new investor. I have just purchased my first home (a foreclosure in the Phoenix suburbs) that I intend to work on over the next few years and sell for a profit once the market has turned.
My Grandfather retired on his realestate holdings and frankly I've caught the bug but my investment strategy is a little different than his was. I would like to focus on Short Sales in this market but have little to invest at the moment (as my funds are tied up in the above mentioned home). I am hoping that I will be able to develop a strategy that will hurry additional seed money along.
I have the time, I have the desire and motivation to succeed. What I am looking for is good advice as I develop a strong plan and exit strategies to move forward.
I invite any other REI's in the Phoenix area to contact me. I look forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with you.
James A Young
