Good day to all, thanks for sharing all the info I have gained thus far. I'm excited to be a member of Bigger Pockets; because that's exactly what I intend to require; "bigger" pockets -to hold all of the cash I plan on making after I learn all I can absorb from the Bigger Pocket gurus and financial savvy people, I plan to network  with and meet along the way!  I'm  honest and  extremely creative and very resourceful. I'm a current university student studying for my Bachelors in Business management/marketing and I graduate in 6 months; I want to hit the ground running. I have lived in this area right on the Colorado River in Bullhead City  AZ (just 5 miles and across a bridge from Laughlin Nevada, for 30 years... so I know a lot of people and come across property deals all  the time. Property deals here are booming!  (its a little hot here, like death valley hot... but the river and casinos are a big draw for the snow bird population and tourism is crazy here. This is a potential goldmine for investing so I'm ready to learn all I can to avoid getting swallowed up by the big fish. I know that's what could  happen if I don't spend the time to learn all I can. I'm an integrity driven person and those that aren't so honest, see my trusting nature coming a mile away,  so I want to be on my toes to avoid those pitfalls, while being fair in my success with others!

    Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Cristy Gray. This is a great place to learn all you need to know to need those bigger pockets! (Actually, that is EXACTLY why this site is named BiggerPockets. Hear the story on Podcast 100.)

    And I'm sorry, but "Death Valley Hot" isn't just 'a little hot'. :)

    Being honest and providing value is the way to get an awesome reputation!

    Thank you for the welcome post! Its nice to join a forum and site such as this, where everyone is personal and encouraging! & willing to share what they know with even the newbies, so thank you and  Its a pleasure to meet you! 

    Your exactly on target that "Death Valley isn't just a little hot".... its like living at the bottom of a volcano for a few months!  Especially, compared to where your from. Colorado, is beautiful all year around and it sees four seasons. There are really, only two here, very hot and desert cold. Today it only hit 109 degrees! Cooling off and almost time for fall...right? Not quite. 

    Anyway, Thanks again and if you wouldn't mind, I would love to connect to follow your posts...providing that is how this works.  

    p.s.  Building a great and honest reputation, is big for me personally and professionally. I do some freelance paralegal work for a few attorneys here, and have witnessed others with just plain unethical behavior; that's not for me. It is my opinion that "your only as good as your word."

    Hi @Cristy Gray,

    nice meeting you. I live in Las Vegas and have 2 single family properties in Bullhead (actually one is in Fort Mohave). I'm looking for more as well as possibly bigger commercial properties (multifamily apartment complexes).

    It would be great to connect. Let me know if I can help in any way.

    Hi Cristy,

    Welcome to the family!  I've lived in Las Vegas for 22 years, and used to come to Bullhead City on a regular basis back in the 90's when my job took me there 3-4 times a month.  If I can assist you in any way in your new adventures in real estate, please feel free to reach out.  I've been in banking and finance for over 25 years, and have been a landlord myself for almost 20.  The best value I can bring you is my integrity and always giving you advice that I would follow myself.  Keep in touch and let me know if I can be of service.  Congrats on your almost here graduation!  I went back to college at the young age of 52 a couple of years ago to pick up another degree in an area I always wanted to get one in, but never had the time or money until I got my own 3 daughters through college and out of the house!  Learning is a blast!

    @Cristy Gray Hi Cristy! Do you currently own properties in Laughlin / Bullhead? My husband and I just relocated to Las Vegas several months ago and we're contemplating on investing in the surrounding areas... Boulder City, Mesquite, Laughlin, Bullhead, etc. We particularly LOVE the Colorado River! So Laughlin/Bullhead is very appealing to us right now : )
