Newbie from Omaha Ne. area

[Patrick Hein]

I am an electrician in the Omaha area. I am a licensed, bonded, insured Electrical Contractor that moved to the Omaha area after the housing melt down. 20 years experience with about half of it in residential. I started my own business in 2008. Started fine then everything dried up by 2010. I became interested in real estate because of all the guru hype. I was in a rural area and had little chance of getting help there. I moved to the Omaha area to increase my chances of succeeding in real estate investing. It was tough going at first and finally found some work some years later. Now that I am working solid and have some money saved up, I am ready to get back to it. I am interested in flipping and rental properties. I found an off market house recently and am kicking myself for not having a good network to go after it. Hope to find some good people on here to work with.
