Hi All,

Stumbled upon the Bigger Pockets website surfing the web for knowledge on Real Estate investing…Boy am I glad I did! What a great collection of people and information and presented in so many platforms. Jumped right into the podcasts and now I'm venturing into the forum section! I've been in the residential construction industry a looooong time but have also added business management along the way. Currently I'm The National Installation Director for Sears Home Improvement and oversee 60,000 installs a year performed by 2500 subcontractors nationally. My interest in REI comes for a love of construction and need to continue building wealth. Our kids are grown and out of the house so my wife and I feel it's time to supercharge our retirement while building a legacy for our family. We're particularly interested in fix & flip and hold & rent at this time and know our need at this time is for knowledge and networking. Although I'm on the Bigger Pockets website every day and heading to my first meeting this week, if anyone has any other suggestions for getting started please feel free!

Thanks

Scott Sarel
