Hello all, 

I'm new to BP also. I'm in the Northern part of Virginia if you'd like to discuss any projects in the area. I'm also a contractor.

I'm finishing up a kitchen remodel right now. Send me some info on the place and what you are looking to do.

Are you looking for a GC or someone who knows a certain trade? Maybe you could check craigslist for the contractor needed and then check to see if they are licensed and insured. Not sure how it works in WV.

Hi Dakoda, 

Wish I could help, I'm only licensed in VA. Let me know if you ever cross the state line and I could give you a hand.

I'm a good contractor but that area is a little far for me unless there's plenty of work to do.

@Ian Price, Thanks for the welcome! I'll look into the FHA loans. Are you loan officer?

Hi Folks, 

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to real estate investing. Not sure the direction I should go in. I would like to buy my first property within 12 months. Im tired of renting. I'm also I home improvement contractor. I make houses pretty. I look forward to learning from you seasoned investors and perhaps working with some of you on some projects too. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a home repair in question. Any recommendations in how to get started in real estate investing? 

Thank you, 

James
