 @Christopher Tanner I would be interested in something like that from a consumer standpoint but also from a development standpoint possibly.  My background is project management versus development but if you were looking for some help I could help in some way.  

@Stephen Anthony Thanks Stephen!  Actually I picked that and The Book on Flipping Houses up last night.   It has been a great read to this point.

@Matthew Swisshelm  I don't disagree at all but I think I need to understand a little more before taking the initial leap.  I did take your advice to an extent though.  I found a couple properties and did some analysis on them and plan to do more this weekend.  My wife has started looking into appliances and materials and such to help with that part of the estimate.  I am hoping to pick up some pointers at the meeting and meet some potential team members/partners.

@Matthew Swisshelm Hey Matthew, thanks for asking!  Things are going well.   We went to a three day real estate investment seminar over the weekend.  Since then we have been soaking up as much information and learning as we can.  We spend quite a bit of time listening to podcasts and reading.  We have made some good progress regarding strategy, company setup, tools we will be using to manage our business and things of that nature.  The things we are focusing on now are:

• Trying to find a lawyer and CPA - if anyone has recommendations I would love to hear them.  :) 
• Building relationships with contractors, buyers, realtors, other investors - Looking forward to the REI Club meeting on Nov 16!
• Picking the areas of Omaha we want to focus - still trying to figure out the best way to assess and make a decision. 
• Understanding how best to estimate repair costs - this is probably my biggest (not only, just biggest) fear at this point.  I don't have any background in construction and don't want to underestimate the time, cost and effort to the point it blows a deal. Maybe some of the risk can be mitigated in how the deals should be structured though.

Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!  

@Matthew Swisshelm thank you very much.  Unfortunately I will not be able to attend tonight because of work function this evening.  We will certainly do all we can to attend the next one.   

Thank you all for the very warm welcome and offers of help!  I look forward to talking and working with you.  Although we are beginners please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. 

@Brian Johnson thank you, we are actually planning to be at the meeting on the 16th.  Look forward to meeting you then.

@Rubelyn P Thank you, I started reading The Ultimate Beginners Guide this morning and it is great, great information and easy read.

@Yoshi Nakayama Thank you for the offer and we will certainly take you up on it.  

@Jeremy Roberts Thank you, we are very excited about the journey ahead of us.

Hello, my name is Anthony and my wife, Renata and I have decide to begin investing in real estate.  Our interests are in wholesaling and flipping initially and gradually get into rental properties.  We are interested in meeting other like minded people.
