Greetings from Phoenix area!

Hi All,

I am new to real estate investing, but am excited to start. I've done a lot of reading, but I recognize that reading and doing are entirely different things. I am looking to start rehabbing and flipping, and I suppose I am the classic case: Very little money, poor credit, but a will to make this work.

I am currently an applications engineer in a technology field, but I am hoping to build my experience and business to allow me to quit my job and invest full time.

I suppose right now I am looking for a mentor... Someone that's made it work, and is willing to show me the ropes. I look forward to the possibilities!

HI Jeff,

I'm just down the road in Tucson. I suggest joining the AZREIA group. That's the way I started a few months ago and have found many experienced investors willing to share ideas and answer questions. They also have some great classes on various real estate investing strategies.
