Newbie from Denver, Co

[J.R. Gutierrez]

Hello Bigger Pockets community! 

My name is J.R. I'm originally from California and just this past January; I relocated to Denver to experience a new city. So far so good. I have been in the construction industry for 8 years now running all aspects of residential contracting. My first job was with a custom cabinet manufacturer who also served as a GC. I was brought in to coordinate/schedule all their remodels and immediately fell in love with residential construction. Weird, I know. I learned how to coordinate jobs to run efficiently. Shuffling 8-12 jobs a week with 3-5 in house crews and several subcontractors was challenging yet fun. After 4 years, I moved on to a new role as Operations Manager with a different GC. I spent 4 years with this company until they unexpectedly closed the business. In these 8 years I've developed plenty of great working relationships with reliable tradesmen, handyman, suppliers, and designers. Currently, I manage a cabinet manufacturer that specializes in multi-family renovations. 

Now that I'm approaching age 35, I want to take all the knowledge and contacts I've gained in the past 8 years and put it to work for myself! Real estate investing has always been something I've wanted to get involved in but, like many, I didn't know where to start. That led me to searching and finding Bigger Pockets. And I'm glad I did! I look forward to learning anything and everything I can from the site and the community.

I look forward to using the resources on here to make big things happen!

Thank you for reading and sorry for the long post :)
