Newbie introduction from South New Jersey
Hi all. My name is Carl Gorson. I have been a member of BP for a few weeks now, though I have been crushing podcasts on you tube at 3 or 4 a day, for about a month and a half, as well as watching webinars. I am 54 years young and in my day job I build military helicopters for a living. I have recently come to realize that I want and need more in my life. After a thorough soul searching, I have realized that real estate investing is what I want to do full time. I have been wanting to do this since was about 18 and never pulled the trigger. But life and circumstance have brought me to this point. I have had my own business in the past, so I have the entrepreneurial spirit, the drive to succeed, and a no fail attitude.
My goal is to flip a few houses to establish a cash pool. Then I would like to buy and hold SFR, using the BRRRR method for cash flow, and possibly move into multi later down the line.
So, I have read the stories of people running the numbers on 20-30-100 ECT properties in order to establish their educational base and acquire some experience, I am all about this path, BUT... I've noticed there is no shortage of possible deals out there and I would like to be more educated in obtaining my finances, and getting them asap when the opportunity presents its self........ HARD MONEY lending , is it different as a newbie ?
