About to be new to real estate investing.

[Chris Matheson]

I'm new to this and trying to educate myself as much as possible before I dip my toes in. I live in southern NH, I've been in construction most of my life, the last fifteen years in heavy highway construction as a sales/estimator.

I love to restore things, houses cars boats etc.. I  have good vision and want to work for myself and create passive income so I can travel a bit. I'm thinking I want to start flipping and eventually picking up rentals. I would like to in the next 3-5 years be able to quit my job and go full time.

Not sure if I should be asking a question on my initial post. However, I have a property with good equity. I would like to sell that so I have the capital to start me venture. In September it will have been rented for three years. I feel if I want to get out of capital gains I need to sell or at least evict by then and remodel. 

Any input on my short intro would be greatly appreciated. I think this is a wonderful site and look forward to learning now, and helping others in the future.

Thanks,

Chris Matheson
