Hey all! A friend recently turned me onto BiggerPockets and, MAN, am I hooked. I love all the practical advice and personal experience (good and bad)! My husband and I bought our first home in 2012; a short-sale, fixer-upper originally built in the '60s. We were subscribing to the Sweat Equity model and four years later and our home is almost complete. Now I'm itching for another deal and another flip! My intention for using BP is to educate myself on my region's real-estate market, learn how to spot a deal (and what to look for), and how to analyze properties and determine positive cash-flow. I'm currently reading through the Ultimate Beginner's Guide but am still unsure of my personal strategy (i.e., BRRR, Fix and Flip, Buy and Hold, etc...). Look forward to learning more and interacting with this community! Thanks!
