Newbie to Real Estate from Colorado Springs, CO

[Keith Parker]

Hi all,

Keith here and I made an account for this site a few months ago, but only now really starting to dig deeper into it. I currently do not have much experience in real estate, however that has changed quite a bit in the last few months. I decided to purchase a few of the BiggerPockets books for education and a starting point. Soon after that, I was hired and now currently working as a field rep for a fix-n-flip company. Kind of driving for dollars but more on par with going out to soon to be foreclosed homes in an attempt to purchase the property. During my off time, I am studying (or attempting to) for a real estate license. 

At this same time, we are currently working through getting our house appraised and refinanced so we can have some down payment money for another house. Looking to stay within the Colorado market, but with prices sky-rocketing, we may be looking out of state to buy properties. Goals with the purchased properties is to follow the BRRRR method. With an ultimate goal of having generated a substantial amount of wealth all while providing back for the community.

I am all open ears for study tips for the real estate exam or studying it in general; properly engaging home owners in regards to purchasing their property and of course looking for further tips and advice for finding and purchasing our very first BRRRR property. 

Thanks for reading and I look forward to take more action on this site.

@Keith Parker Gotcha, I haven't heard of that program myself but I would imagine they're going after more than just foreclosures?

I highly recommend coming to the local Colorado Springs investor meetup, I've made quite a few useful contacts there over the years. 

There are several experienced wholesalers there who could help you with finding off market deal too.
