Hello from Denver, CO and PS What is up with CO

[Mike Henderson]

I'm just introducing myself to this board. I want to lay down a challenge and go from shortest time span of introduction to closing their first deal.

I've lived in Denver for thirteen years, I am originally from Springfield, MO. My only experience in RE involves being a buyer myself, trying to sell my home this spring. I also used to be a mortgage broker and marketing director for a mortgage banker. Closed 11 loans in six months as a broker. Before I got out of business in 2004. Since then I have been a professional poker player.

I can't seem to break 50K per year as a professional poker player. I'm going to get involved in the real estate arena. Likely forms include one or more of the following: mortgage broker, realtor, and investor.

Since I found this site I've probably spent (50+ hours) reading the articles and forums. Guess I needed to introduce myself.

Seems like a ton of people are from Colorado; both in REI and this forum. Josh, Wheatie, a mortgage stud (can't remember his name), and at several others I have seen. I don't want to slight anybody, especially those I might wholesale a deal too. There is also a preponderance of gurus in my opinion. Peter Conti, Bill Bronchick, and others (Paul Wells?) I plan on posting my business plan within 72 hours and would love feedback on it.
