I was able to network with a lot of great entrepreneurs and investors there.

Hello I am a young entrepreneur. 

Hey March,Not enough in the know to help you out, just saw the thread as interested to know more about Boulder and areas for BRRR or 4plx house hacking.Seems like you have that entrepreneur fire in ya, wishing you the best of luck with the new business

You need to start thinking about yourself as a business person/entrepreneur and not just a "real estate investor". 

For investors and entrepreneurs who are willing to navigate through the complexities of this emerging market, the returns can be tremendous.

Hello Biggerpocket Entrepreneurs,Thanks for always responding to my messages and giving guidance.

Flipping in the uk has low transaction costs and therefore makes lots of sense, but this post (below) made me a little crazy because in the US, transaction costs make sure the entrepreneur with all the risk/work gets only half the profit....even if it goes well....whereas the realtor(s) and money guy gets half ( or more) of the flip for close to zero risk.

Another great resource in Wilmington is SCORE, it's a free mentoring service that helps entrepreneurs get their business started.

Is this an advisable path forward (it seems this is the only option I have to make this long-coveted first real estate investment while becoming an entrepreneur at the same time)?

A cool trick is to double-click a word in any post and add it to your keyword alerts without leaving the page.An unstoppable entrepreneur myself, I have been mentoring start-up entrepreneurs and business of various industries and niches for two decades now.
