Hello from Connecticut!

Hello all my name is Jason Smith. I am brand new to the game, but have some experience in tenants and construction.

I am really excited to get into flipping, but think I will try my hand at some rental properties first to get started. I say this because I am not quite ready, or able to devote the time needed to be active in flipping, as I hope to do much of the work myself. With a rental I can take enough time off work to get it ready to rent, and put out fires as needed. Hopefully I'll build enough equity in the coming years to take the plunge and give real estate my undivided attention!

I live in southwestern Connecticut, and would love to start networking with active people in my area. This site has been an amazing resource, and cannot wait to become immersed in the BP community!

Hi Jason, welcome to BP! If you're financing (personal) is a challenge right now, might I suggest wholesaling a couple deals, and using that to pay off debt? Then moving FW into flipping? As well equity partners might be an option if funds are limited (or non existent) on your end. Either way, welcome aboard.
