Hello! My name is Kerie and I live in Worcester County, Massachusetts. I am a seasoned real estate agent with 12 years of experience. I originally got into real estate 12 years ago while looking at investment properties to flip. To date I have not completed a flip! After finding BP I am newly inspired to follow my dreams once and for all and buy my first flip. I am currently watching every webinar that BP offers and watching multiple BP podcasts every day. I am a single mom with some debt (currently paying down) and the skills to wholesale, find deals, stage and sell. I have a SF home that is too small to hack but I do have equity in it to possibly use as my down payment.

@Kerie Choiniere hi I'm newer investor out of Grafton. I'm on my second deal in Leomister with the same contractor as my first deal in Holden. Both are flips, we split equity in the 1st deal and the current deal I just loaned him money.

Hi Kerie,
Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Hope you find a flip and get your first deal.
I'm currently looking for my first multi family in Worcester and also in search some local property management.

I’m sure you have a great real estate agent but let me know if you need my help! I keep finding deals but I can’t make a move fast enough. I need to secure a good hard money lender.

@Kerie Choiniere , It's a common problem in strong markets. To me it sounds like you definitely need a good lender to work with. Ideally, you should get pre-approved so that you know exactly what you can and can't buy, how much you can borrow, what the rates and terms would be, etc. Having that all set up in advance would give you the confidence and speed necessary to move quicker.
If you have any questions about how to go about doing something like that let me know.
Good luck.

@Jeff Cichocki . Thanks for the Info. I have been a real estate agent for the last 13 years so I’m well aware of financing. I have my own property and right now I can’t get a loan for a flip. I’ll get there and I think hard money lenders are my only lotion right now. If only I knew if brrrr back then!
