Hello new here to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate

Hello,

Like my title, I'm new to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Investing. I'm a L.E.O from Colorado and have been for more than 20 years. With all that I have been through at work, I started trying to help others. I became a Certified Wellness Coach.

Being a Coach, I started a TV Channel on Roku geared towards Wellness.

 In growing and gaining knowledge with my Wellness, I became a Loan Signing Agent; because of a podcast here on Bigger Pockets. I plan on buying Single Family and Small Multi Family Homes At first and always, I keep my head on a swivel for opportunities. With my current job I've been fortunate enough to go on a few extraditions a year and travel all around this country.

I  have been looking into the neighborhoods and property values as well. I am looking in my state as well as others. I feel this has really broaden my knowledge. 

If there is anything I can do to help, or anything you suggest that I read or do to further for my education please reach out.

Thank you,

Chris Martinez

    Welcome to Bigger Pockets!

    This is a great place to learn and network. A lot of forum members are very knowledgeable in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.

    If you haven’t been to it already, you might want to check out the BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/

    The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members. I like the search features: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search

    Alerts can be really helpful too: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

    Welcome To bigger Pockets Chris,

    Sound like you have been working hard and creating cool things. Being an entrepreneur is not easy and but if you can do that, then you are going to do wonderfully in Real Estate investing. I would say listen to the pod casts on bigger pockets as they are packed full of amazing insights. I personally like the pod casts on here where they interview Grant Cardone. There are 2 of them but the episodes numbers escape me. However this is a wonderful platform to gain insight. But if you are in the Denver area, I would suggest checking out the Denver real estate investing podcast by Chris Lopez, this pod cast is also amazing at helping you understand the Colorado market as well. I have gained tons of insight from this podcast. 

    And if you are ready to invest or looking to do so. I strongly encourage you to understand financing options and talk to a lender you trust and that will work for you, and help you understand how to grow into what you want to do. The Financing aspect is an extremely important part of helping you get to where you want to be down the road. You will hear a ton on these pod casts about FHA loans but its not always the best type of loan out there, so understanding all your options first is HUGE in getting into real estate investing! Hope this helps. And if you want to look at properties here in Northern Colorado let me know! Have a wonderful day.

    Mark
