Hello Bigger Pockets members,

I'm Tom Worm  ,

I am currently the owner operator of a drywall company (20 years) and getting tiered of it so that has lead me to become a newbie to investing. I'm in the twin cities market I would like to buy and hold preferable in suburbs. I am open to anything that make sense as I get my feet wet and find my niche. weather its wholesaling, fix and flip, what ever it takes to find some deals. I am looking forward to talking to anybody about anything 

Please feel free to point out forum mistakes as I learn this medium.

Thanks,

I am having trouble finding realtors that are willing to show some of the properties that are lower end and in out lying areas. (Gaylord, Arlington, Glencoe) any tips would be great.

@Thomas Worm check out the Minnesota local forums.  If you post there and read previous posts you may find an agent or two who work in your area and you will get to know some of us who are active in the forums.

I am happy to share what in know about buying, renting, refinancing and rehabbing so feel free to send me your questions. 

On my part, I am always looking for a drywaller/finisher who can do medium and small projects in the metro.  Most houses I am offering on lately need some drywall for a basement, moving a wall, fixing holes, water damage, etc..   So.... nice to meet you!

Welcome @Thomas Worm . As a fellow newbie and SW Metro guy (Waconia), it is great to see someone local here. Our family business was drywall as well, so I'm sure we have crossed paths before. Welcome again and good luck!
