New to the business in Maine
Hi, I’m new to this business and am pretty excited to have found Bigger Pockets. I’m from Scarborough, Maine.
I currenty drive a tractor trailer over the road. I got divorced about two years ago and have been driving ever since. I’m getting my finances and credit score back in order and figure I will settle back down in Maine in about 6 months to a year.
My goal initially is to purchase an REO duplex, utilizing a VA loan, which will be my primary residence. I then plan on flipping at least one house and seeing how that goes.
I’d love to hear from anyone, especially fellow Mainers! Are there any clubs or meet ups that I could attend in Maine? Any posts or forums I should pay special attention to?
Thanks everyone!
