New Member in Colorado

[Joe Lee]

Hello, I am newbie real estate investor from the Parker, CO area. I have rehabbed and profited off of two different homes of my own in the past and I just recently formed an LLC with two other partners. One of the partners will be mostly silent, but has promised to personally fund any deal that makes sense for us.

I have been lurking the posts here for over 2 years, but just recently joined and made a profile.  I always thought finding funding was the hardest part, but I am now finding (after locating a private investor and becoming partners with him) that finding the DEAL is really the up hill battle...  My goal, like most I think, is eventually freedom from my 9-5 and financial security for my family that no 401k can ever provide.  

Thanks to everyone in this community for the wealth of knowledge I have gained from you.  I have a long way to go, but I think I have the tenacity to succeed.  If any wholesalers read this in the Colorado area, I would always be interested in being on your buyer list.  If the deal makes sense on paper, I know I can find the funding.

Thank you all, and I look forward to many prosperous years for all ahead!
