@Auston Horrocks, welcome to BP! I am pretty new to this as well. I'm down in Provo right now. I'm trying to absorb as much as I can right now, work on my goals and game-plan, and working toward having my first deal done by this summer. It's gonna be a lot of hard work, but I think it'll be worth it! There are some videos that Brandon Turner put out called the Financial Independence Blueprint. I would suggest checking those out to help you develop your base focus and action plan. 

@Chace Fraser. Thank you for the welcome. I a excited and there is a ton of information to absorb and start applying! 

Right now, I feel that I want to do just what you said, a live-in flip or a house hack.  If I'm able to find the right property and partner I may not even have to do that but we'll see how it goes as I start to clearly develop my goals and game-plan. 

Thanks for reaching and we should definitely stay in touch! 

@Daniel Criddle, I hope that house hack goes well! It seems like that is a great way to get starting with investing. 

I'm also looking into BRRRR and partnering on flips, at least to start off.

I have heard of one meetup that happens on the first Monday of every month but I think the next one is still location undetermined. Check out the thread, "Looking for local meetups in Utah". Hopefully you'll be able to find it that way. 

Following. I'm also new to BP, but I'm excited to attend some meetups and connect with awesome people! 

@Cherie Orellana, thanks for reaching out. Really cool that you and your husband are able to work together like that. 

Your advice is great. I think that's where I'm headed right now is trying to help out others and possibly partner, before worrying about doing my own deals. 

I would definitely be interested in coming to the meetup in March. I haven't found too many meetup opportunities yet. I will stay tuned!

Thanks @Sam Horton! That's awesome, I hope those new deals go well. I've been learning a ton just reading through everything and watching videos on BP.  Even though I'm in Provo now I would love to get into Massachusetts as well. What do your investments focus on, flips, rentals? 

Hey everyone, 

I am Bobby Dirkmaat.  I live in Provo, Utah right now but am willing to go almost anywhere on the east or west coast. I am from San Diego but I also love Massachusetts, Virginia, and South Carolina. I graduated from BYU with a degree in construction management.  Although I have the skills to work in the industry I felt that flipping and investing in rentals was a better fit for me. I love design and remodeling. I always look for ways to improve a house when I walk in. I love that I could have the opportunity to use the skills I have learned and be able to have the opportunity to design and potentially make a lot of money doing what I enjoy! 

My friend introduced me to BiggerPockets while we were selling pest control last summer.  I would love to get to know more people here and make some connections, hopefully even meet up in person!
