New to BP and REI in Colorado

[Alex Pearson]

Hi all,

New member here. Joined last week and been poking around to get a feel for the place. I can't believe this site is here as it seems like an incredibly fantastic resource! I am looking to get started in REI to supplement my retirement savings and have some additional post retirement income. I'm 52, so feeling a little late to the game. But I'm ready.

I have a Marketing degree but have worked in the IT industry for the last 25 years. I'm not much of a business-minded person so I know I have a lot to learn. I live in the Denver metro area. From my understanding, this is a difficult market in which to do REI (particularly flipping), but the rental market seems good so that is a possibility. I'm originally from Florida and it has crossed my mind to move back and make this work there.

Just general stuff about me: love the mountains and camping, drive a jeep and do some off-roading now and then, really love good food and good whisky.

Anyway, look forward to learning a lot and talking to you all.

Alex
