Stumbling into BP world

Stumbling into BP world

Fort Collins, CO · Member since 2018 · 45 posts · 21 votes
I feel like I’ve stumbled into the secret garden, or an amusement park for adults who buy, sell and trade real estate, services, knowledge and so much more. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the possibilities! I currently live in Fort Collins Colorado, north of Denver, with my wife and two boys. We both work way too hard, playing tag team in the afternoons with our boys and finally, after bedtime, if we’ve got the energy, we’ll say hey, eat a dangerously late dinner and then fall into bed. I found BP by accident one morning sifting through podcasts in Spotify. That was about two weeks ago and I’ve been devouring everything I can get my hands on since; guides, forums, podcasts. My head may explode. Long story short, my wIfe and I have flipped two houses in three years, so we’ve been bitten by the bug. We are a spectacular sweat equity team and we are ready to 1. Work hard and be rewarded for it (instead of the barely-speaking-by-each-month jobs) 2. Build passive income so we can spend more time together (because we really like to do that) and 3. Partner with people who have the same passions for providing great housing, helping fellow humans, and building a full and abundant life. If you’ve made it to the bottom of this “introduction,” hopefully we can take advantage of our respective skills and do some awesome things! Cheers! Logan

@Logan Brown welcome to BP!  Make sure you set up keyword alerts for areas that you're interested in investing in. I've learned a lot that way.

If you're looking for a local meetup and podcast, look @James Orr 's Nomad material. He's up there in Ft. Collins and has amazing resources.

    @Logan Brown I feel the same way brother. I found out about BP right before I moved to FoCo myself! Now I'm an agent out here loving this area!

    @Stephen Spradley, great to meet a fellow FoCo guy! Have you done any investing here? Or are you just doing the absent thing? My wife and I are actually on the front end of the licensing train. Someone offered to pay for us to get a real estate license and of course, we said, sure! I’d love to meet up and chat, see what kind of stuff you’re up to here in town!

    @Chris Lopez thanks a bunch for the tips. I’ve seen James on BP, but haven’t had an opportunity to connect yet. I will definitely get in touch with him. What was your route for setting up keywords? Any tips on that front? Thanks again!

    @Logan Brown - Nothing fancy. Just put in towns and geographic areas around you. And any topics that you're interested in. Afer you get a few emails with the keyword digest, you can trim down the keywords.

    Thanks @Chris Lopez... I do appreciate the kind words.

    @Logan Brown... yes, we'd love to see you at an investor class if you're up for it. This week is mid-year market stats and I'll have a few on fix and flips in our market as well.

    Hi Logan, 

    Welcome to BP. My wife and I are both Realtors in Colorado and I focus on the investor side of our business. BP has been an amazing place to meet people and learn all you can. 

    Good Luck and Happy Investing.

    @Kevin Grinstead Thanks for the welcome! The resources here are so vast that I feel like I’m in an accelerated crash course. The goal now is to be diving into investing with the big kids sooner rather than later.

    @James Orr Thanks so much for the invite! I am super interested in tonight’s topic, but my wife works at night and I’m not sure I’d be able to get childcare line up this quickly. I will definitely work on freeing up the next couple weeks. I would also love to sit down and chat about other projects you’ve got going and how I could help out. Cheers!

    Hi @Logan Brown and welcome to BP! The landlord software company I work for is also located in Fort Collins (Old Town) and we love to see people in the area starting their real estate investment journey. Best of luck, we look forward to reading your future posts!

    @Katie Stewart, thanks for stopping to say hey. I’m surprised at the variety of folks working in so many different sectors of real estate in Fort Collins. I’ll definitely keep y’all in mind once we get things ramped up. I think we’ve got a pretty great town for networking, so hopefully I’ll get the network built up nice and strong here as quick as possible
