New Investor Looking to Help

[Justin Marschalk]

I am new to investing but looking to get my first deal in the next 6-8 months.  I have extensive knowledge in general contracting and construction.  The last several months I have been educating myself daily via books and podcasts and truly enjoy improving my knowledge.  Looking to start connecting with others in the industry.  I would like to get involved with a seasoned investor in any way possible.  Currently located in Des Moines, Iowa but would be willing to work with someone remotely as I have lived in several areas including Colorado and California and have interest in several other markets.  

Thanks, Justin
