New Investor from Danbury, Connecticut

[Alex Maldonado]

Hello everyone. My name is Alex Maldonado. My wife and I are new investors. We have one flip that is in week 4 of rehab and has one week to go before we can get it on the market. Our flip is in Stratford, CT. 

I want to do flips to generate income and buy rentals for cash flow to generate wealth.

Currently we both have full time jobs but we both want to leave that life and do real estate investing full time. We knew it was a lot of work and are seeing it first hand. But that is okay, we already work hard, we just don't get paid as well as we'd like. Persistence and perseverance are a must!!!!!

There is so much I want and need to learn, and I often feel overwhelmed by all the info that is out there. But we have a good team in place and have a great network. We attend monthly meetings with other tri-state area investors. We also participate in weekly phone conferences with that same group. That is how I discovered BiggerPockets. 

Some other areas of REI I'm interested in learning about are wholesaling (both buying and selling). Gap or bridge funding.

Hope this is a good introduction. I feel I could go on and on with things I want to say. I look forward to connecting and network with all of you soon. Thanks.
