I'm excited to have joined the Bigger Pockets Community. I joined as a Pro Member and I am currently analyzing deals to get back into Real Estate Investing. I have only been involved in a few deals myself, but was raised by a father who understood the term "Sweat Equity". 

I need to connect with a good General Contractor that has worked with investors before. If anyone has a referral it would be greatly appreciated. 

I also need to hook up with some local banks or Investors that offer transitional financing so I can concentrate on fixer-uppers.

I am getting close on a couple of deals and need to get everything lined up as soon as possible. Any leads or advice will be gratefully accepted. I hope to hear from you soon and who knows, possibly work with a few of you soon.

Welcome to BP @Jim McColgan! Ton's of good stuff here for you to learn.

For a HML you can reach out to @Bob Green to see if he can help. I also know some more traditional lenders, so let me know if you want a referral.

I also host a monthly meetup with investors mostly from BP. You can join that group on meetup here or watch the events board on here to get info on our October meetup.

Happy Networking and Investing!
