New Investor Introduction!

Hi I’m a newer investor in Grand Rapids Michigan area. I live in Kent city and would love to meet and talk with people who invest in my area! I grew up in Grand Rapids/Wyoming area and During high school I went to trade school for half the day for two years, then started working in new construction in GR area at 17. I developed a good understanding of construction And did carpentry/renovation work for about 6 years and counting. I’m 22 and have flipped 1 house with a 50/50 partner that funded and helped with rehab. Together we did all the work from demo to sold! Made a decent profit in Muskegon Heights, it sold the 3rd day on market and first day of open house! Did this while working 40 plus hours. Also as we are in the last stage of finishes covid 19 broke out. Made for great timing for a first flip! Everything worked out still with some delays, but I’m happy I made a decent profit! Still working full time and I’m looking to network with people in my area. My focus since I’m younger is to buy and hold and flip when the right deal comes along!

@Frankie Arguelles That is fantastic!! I wish I was flipping houses at 22! If you are ever interested in chatting more about long-term investments, let me know.  I am happy to sit down to discuss Grand Rapids.
