Returning Novice Investor from Stow, Ohio

[Robert Angle]

I'm pretty excited to have stumbled across this site. So much to read. So much to learn. A Facebook ad took me over to Connected Investors where I registered for a free account and discovered their "Exactly How" podcast. Then, I decided to search for other real estate investing podcasts in my Android podcast app (CastBox) and Bigger Pockets was at the top of the list, with a HUGE backlog of listening material (330+ shows vs the other guys 10 or so).

I dabbled in real estate investing when I bought a 3 unit in 2004. I made some financial mistakes within the first few years and then the crash of 2008 happened, not only taxing my day job income (self-employed tile and marble craftsman) but hitting the tenants also. I let that property go in 2010 and was pretty scared away from investing after that, and in the years that followed focused on rebuilding my formerly very successful construction business.

Mission accomplished, and now I am going to get back into it. This time, I am older and wiser, am soaking up *current* REI information and have a plan in the works. I personally am looking to buy and hold, and one of the guys that works with me in my other company wants to BRRRR together with me. I just recently set up a separate LLC (for myself) and have been eyeing properties online with several of them bookmarked. Finding palatable financing will be my ticket.

I have and will have a lot of questions, but I'll drop those gradually if the sites search capabilities don't net me the answers I am looking for.

Sincerely,

- Bob
