I'm primarily a buy and hold investor/landlord but am working on my first flip.I'm still a novice to this Real Estate game but the time has come to ramp it up and get busy.

I am looking at my first real "commercial" apartment building and like most things I'm starting off small... 6 unit building, I own a 4 plex, 3 duplexes and several SFH's, so I'm not totally new to the game, but all the previous properties I bought at deep deep discounts, all foreclosed, all cash deals, all in terrible awful shape, all are now rehabbed beautiful and cash flowing very well.So this leads me to this 6 plex, its in an area I already own duplexes, I finally this week contacted the owner, turns out he's ready to sell, hes owned the property since 1981 with his brother, his brother is 10 years older then he is and can't do any of the work anymore. so...

Getting my marketing materials put together is "a" priority, but making sure Lily is fed, changed, and safely at play is THE PRIORITY.

That way you will at least keep your head in the game, note future neighborhoods to invest in (or not invest in) for yourself and possibly learn some good valuable information from the investor you could be bird dogging for.

As a new investor though I would say stick to the numbers and learn the game first.

Monopoly and cashflow for kids are the games we play around here.So when we flipped a house, the kids work and when we sell they get paid $100 for their sweat.

I'm glad to connect with other like minded folks that are executing the play!

I am super excited to be back in the game with more knowledge than ever, a thirst to learn and eagerness to meet fellow BP members and investors.PS - I tell everyone I speak to about Bigger Pockets.com - love this place!

It was no longer earning anything... so I figured this would be a great opportunity to continue contributing to my retirement and get in the real estate game.
