I am a realtor in Florida and my husband is a retired home inspector/contractor. I have been researching REI for over a year and we finally flipped our house last spring amid a serious health crisis. While we thought we knew a lot about home buying/selling and fixing, we learned a TON because flipping is a 'whole other beast'! But we enjoyed it, and we actually made some money:)

So after taking some required time off, we are back to have another go at it. We enjoy flipping, but also want to learn about other types of REI and hopefully find new, creative ways of making money.

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome back to Bigger Pockets. I discovered BP a while ago but didn't really get involved until recently. I'm sorry I waited so long to "plug in". BP is an awesome resource.

I am a cash flow investor. I have been a landlord since 1982 and I have also flipped a fair numbers of homes over the years.

A couple of years ago I discovered the "paper" side of the real estate investment world. I purchased my first Mortgage Note. I have been actively acquiring Notes for passive cash flow since that time.

I like the the passive nature, the safety and the cash flow that I receive from Performing Mortgage Notes. I still own "brick & mortar" real estate but my end game is to be 100% in paper at some point.

I upgraded to BP Pro & upgraded my profile. Check it out.
