My name is Daniel Thomas and I live in Manchester, New Hampshire. My partner and I have recently decided to pursue our dream of becoming real estate investors. We have experimented with wholesaling in the past, and even managed to wholesale one property. Now we are jumping into the business with both feet and are committed to making our goals happen. 

We are not only interested in the active side of real estate but the passive income that it can create as well. We purchased our first turnkey rental property in September and recently signed a P&S for our second. Adding these properties has been a huge motivator in for us to keep working on our active real estate business. Ideally we would like to grow our wholesale business to the point where it can completely fund our rental property portfolio.

I could not be more excited to join and participate in this amazing community. I look forward to hearing from everyone!!

    @Daniel Thomas

    You have come to the right place!

    BP is a great place to continue your education.  You're not a beginner but you should still start wth the Ultimate Beginner Guide.  Then listen to all the BP podcasts. 

    You should set keyword alerts for topics and areas you are interested in. 

    Finally, start attending REIAs and get out there to network. The only thing better than making a good investment is using OPM to do it and networking is a great place to meet other investors. 

    Good luck!

    Welcome to the pocket!  nice to meet you! 

    Agree with @Robbie Reutzel about setting alerts and for sure checking out the podcasts.  My first 20-30 episodes were going through and grabbing ones I thought would be beneficial to me.  Then I just went through the entire list.  Some of them 2-3 times because there was just so much good info in there.

    I would also say check out some of the blog post as there are some very specific stories and walkthroughs.

    Stay active and congrats on the 2 new properties!

    Welcome to BP! Spend a lot of time in NH, have family and friends there. Great place.

    Would be interested to hear more about your turn-key property experience if you would be willing to share. Have been thinking of going that route lately and looking for information, experiences, companies you used. You can message me off this thread if you like.

    Welcome!  As others stated, listening to the podcast and setting keyword alerts has really propelled my learning in the last 6 months.

    I'm always interested in connecting with wholesalers in my area.  If you find anything west of Boston - give me a holler.  Mostly interested in multifamily or fix+flips.  

    Keep in touch and good luck!  I look forward to hearing some successes.
