New Member: Dan from Denver

[Dan Williamson]

Hi Everyone! 

My name is Dan Williamson and I’m from Denver/Aurora, CO area.

I really don’t have much of a background in real estate other than the fact that I’ve been a renter all of my adult life.

I have, however, had quite an entrepreneurial streak in me for most of my life and am looking to branch out. As my other businesses are generating a bit of cash flow, I am looking to invest in something more than a 401k. The buy-and-hold strategy appeals to me the most and that is where I have been focusing most of my attention and learning.

A second area that I am interested in surrounding real estate investing is connecting new real estate agents with investors. In fact that’s really how I found Bigger Pockets. I have a few friends who are newly licensed agents and while in regular conversation I would bring up the subject of creative deal-making in real estate. The most creative response I got from all of them was “You mean something other than a 20% down?” What has drawn me here is both the investing (in real estate) side as well as the investing (in people) side.

While I am reading, listening and learning as much as I can as quickly as I can, I still feel like quite a newbie.

I’m looking forward to meeting and interacting with everyone.

I’ll also be at the Denver meetup tonight. So come find me. I’d love to get to know people in person.
