New Real Estate Investor from Denver, Colorado

[Dawn Fuentes]

Hello everyone! I'm a new real estate investor from Denver, Colorado. I'm very excited to participate in this industry and learn as much as I can from more experienced people who have been doing this successfully! I'm currently still working a full-time job as a computer technician at a local corporation but am devoting my nights and weekends to starting up my own Real Estate Investment business.

I'm currently working on finding properties to Wholesale to investors to get some cash flow started up so I can invest in other areas in the hopefully nearish future. I'm not 100% sure what area of Real Estate I'm most interested in at the moment because there are so many great options and strategies, but SFR & multiplex Fix and Flips and Fix, Hold and Rent both appeal to me so I'm thinking that might be the direction I'm headed in when I get some more experience under my belt, although I may find many directions that interest me.

I'm really excited to be a part of this community and participate in these forums and I have so far had some great responses and interactions with other members. Thank you very much for the kind words and advice! :)

My goal within one year is hopefully to be able to quit my job, leave Corporate America in the dust forever and do Real Estate investing full time so I have more flexibility in my work schedule and more financial freedom to travel and give back to the community more than I can currently both with my time and my money. I also can't wait until I am actually getting paid directly in proportion to how hard I work instead of someone else making so much money off my sweat equity, I have a very strong work ethic, excellent customer service and communication/networking skills and unbridled enthusiasm and passion and these qualities are under-appreciated and under-compensated in my current career.

We live in northwest Denver and love living in Colorado, it's absolutely beautiful here and there are a lot of great activities and the mountains are just a Jeep ride away. I am a Colorado native and my husband is from Bolivia, South America and we are hoping to start a family later this year. I would really like to be able to raise my future kids and work out of my home and be with my family more. We both speak Spanish and he's working on his English, and I'm really hoping being bi-lingual will be a great help to us in this industry.

We really look forward to talking with and meeting other members and any help or advice anyone wants to give us as we start out on this Real Estate journey. Thank you very much and I hope everyone has a great weekend! :)
