Hello. My name is Danny Guzman. I am new and really excited to be a Real Estate Investor. I've been wanting to do this for the last 3 years but really didn't commit to it. I have just been doing my homework and trying to learn the business. I've decided to go for it. I currently own and operate a Property Preservation company. I provide services such as lock changes, winterizations, yard care, and eviction services. As I go through all these vacant homes, I often think about flipping the home. So I just decided to go for it. I would like to meet and introduce myself to other investors in my area and just talk shop. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Welcone @Danny Guzman

    Caitlin made some excellent tips. Another good one they discuss on one of the podcasts is to drive and get to know your prospective investmetn area. AS a property preservation guy now, you should already have some idea of what certain houses are worth in certain areas, and what improvemetns are expceted at each level. The more you know, the easier it will be to find the deals when come online

    Hey @Danny Guzman Thanks for jumping in and introducing yourself! If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts."

    Also - be sure to check out House Flipping: The Best of BiggerPockets. I think you'll find a lot of great resources on flipping there.

    Welcome Danny. There are a lot of super helpful people and great advice on this site! I’m a ‘fix and hold’ investor from the Bay Area in CA, and loving it! A lot of others doing flips, wholesaling, notes, everything.. A few tips..

    You can tag people by typing @ before you type their name, then clicking their name when it pops up at the bottom of the message box. You can click on the ‘vote’ button if you like someone's post or is helpful, and there are ‘awards’ to earn on your profile. The "Learn" link across the top navigation bar has lots of great info, and most importantly, the BP members! Welcome to BP, and good luck on your investments!
