Hello,My name is John Flynn and recently joined joined this site, Live in Mantua, N.J.since 1987 and a native of the state. 

Hello Bigger Pockets Community, My Name is John, 27,  Bay Area native seeking more knowledge on the Real Estate Platform.

I am a 25 year old South Denver native and have worked as a carpenter for my fathers residential remodeling company on and off for the last 10 years (throughout High School and College), since graduating college I have become increasingly interested in the business side of residential homes and have therefore been a licensed Realtor for 18 months now.

I might be just over reacting to the excitement, but there is still time to back out lol.  

Not sure how to react to his request I had never heard this before ?

I am constantly looking for new deals so I would like to make sure I have all my finances in place to react when I find a good deal which is why I am trying to figure out how to use the build up equity I have.  

Apart from a lot of insurance claims.. how does price react short term?

Hey @David Houghtaling it feels good to see another NY native wanting to get into REI and you will definitely get some great information off of the BP forums and website.

Follow the law.If you want to be an *** hat LL, the legislature will react and your bad actors will be the cause of further regulations. 

As a native to Metro-Detroit, manager of over 2,000 homes and guy that has bought hundreds of homes I can tell you from experience that fortunes have been made and lost here.
