New Investor in Alaska

[Tom Schneider]

Hi All,

Wanted to introduce myself to the BP community-- I've been a longtime lurker here but have only recently started posting, and have been amazed by the wealth of information to be found!

A bit about me: I'm an engineer in the mining industry by trade, originally from southern CA but have migrated my way across the country to eventually land in Alaska, working outside Fairbanks but living down in Anchorage when not at work. I recently closed on my first property-- a 4plex picked up using an FHA mortgage near downtown Anchorage. I finished flipping the first unit a week ago, and I'm moving right along to getting the other 3 completed! Going forward I am looking to move into more multi-family rentals and potentially into flips. I'm finding that done right, these can be absolute gold mines-- and I would know!
