Newbie from Kenosha WI

[Benjamin Ortiz]

Hi Everyone!

I just found out about this great community and wanted to take a second and introduce myself. My name is Benjamin Ortiz born and raised in Chicago IL and just recently relocated my family and I to Kenosha WI to better care for them out here. Do to relocating I had to let go of a corporate job working for a logistics company for 9 years. Since being in Kenosha for the last month I’ve been dreaming up ways on how I can make a good income out here and be available for my family. Ever since I was young my father taught me how to refinish floors. I would do that on the side for added income. Always wanted to be self employed but never did it for a fear of failing and not really knowing how. Being out here has allowed me to dream again to see if this would be something that would be fitting for me. I have had friends involved in real estate investing and I had a desire to learn and do it myself but never took the step. I was recently job searching online and somehow came across a website called simplewholing.com and they mentioned bigger pockets as one of their top resources so I decided to check it out. I’m glad I did because it looks to be a good supportive community here that I can glean and grow from. One thing I don’t want to ever do in my life is to live with “what if’s” in my life. I’m a rookie to all of this but if you guys would grant me patience to be able to learn and grow from you all so I can be successful at this I would greatly appreciate it. Looking forward to meeting you all!
