Hello and Thank You!

[Thomas Paszko]

Hello Bigger Pocketers!!

So we probably came on a bit strong just throwing one of our first deals out there for funding... let's back it up a bit and get to know everyone to do this right!  
My wife and I have been following BP threads, forums, and info for months, and are so thankful to have all this knowledge at our fingertips! Thanks to everyone for spreading and sharing such helpful information. For now, we are hoping to stay local and really laser in on 1-2 unit residential properties in our hometown- Buffalo, NY, both turn key and those in need of a little love, utilizing the BRRRR strategy. We are new to the game, but extremely serious and passionate about making real estate work for our family. Having already read a bookcase full of the real estate classics, we are definitely eager to read, listen, and learn, and it is time for us to seriously jump in and start securing positive properties. We have a goal of 40 doors within 5 years, hoping to springboard that over the next month with a 4 unit (2 duplexes on same deed) property currently under contract and a 2nd offer out on a optimistic duplex. Already having experienced an enormous share of hiccups in this process, my wife and I understand that this is not a quick or easy path- yet we are very motivated to get going. We'll take any and all advice we can get- especially when it comes to non-traditional funding, establishing our team (especially contractors), and establishing relationships. We are both "old school, small town" type of people, and really value a meaningful handshake and honest process, and love that Bigger Pockets seems to be that kind of place!
Thanks again and can't wait to get going!
Tom and Veronika Paszko

Thomas Paszko might want to rethink that whole 40 door thing. I have 10 sfhs that rent for at least 900 a month and I have 1-2 evictions a year and a few big issues.

So 4x that.

But you have to start some where. Let me know if you need to bounce ideas off.
