New Investor from Southern Maine

[Nick Hamel]

Howdy! 

My name is Nick. I've been lurking on Bigger Pockets for a while now, reading the books, listening to the podcasts and of course perusing the forums for almost 2 years. After all of the reading, listening, talking and planning, it's time to act! 

I live in Southern Maine with my wife and 2 young sons. My wife and I are committed to purchasing at least one buy and hold investment property in 2019. After a little while on the forums and listening to the BP podcasts, it was a bit surprising  that little-ol'-Maine gets so much attention from investors from all over. I guess we're in the right place anyways!

Initially our focus is small multi-family properties within an hour or so of our home, so Southern Maine/Seacoast New Hampshire area. Single families aren't out of the question either if the price is right to cash flow. In addition to becoming active here on BP, we are interested in local real estate meetups and networking with like-minded people around us. 

My "real job" is a direct sales rep for a communications and software manufacturer, so I am pretty much always "driving for dollars"...  I love what I do, so although financial freedom is the ultimate goal, I'm not looking to quit my day job quite yet.  

I look forward to becoming an active member of BP and hopefully meeting some of you out there!
