Hi @Paul Donoghue!

I would be really, really interested in seeing your flip! Thank you so much for the offer. What's really weird is that I just started thinking today about flipping in Dracut, and I was just analyzing a (fantasy) deal in Dracut when I saw your message. I'll PM you my phone number and you can call me when you're free to show me. Looking forward to it!

Regards,

Colin

Hi Justin,

Thank you! As @Sarah McCoy said, Lowell's a great place to invest. I look forward to networking with you!

Hi @Sarah McCoy! Thank you, I will keep you in mind. I grew up in Dracut! Are you from Dracut originally, or a transplant? See you around the forums.

Welcome @Jacob Geller!

I am a newbie as well, from Lowell. I look forward to running into you on the forums and perhaps at a REIA meeting!

Regards,

Colin

@Lydia S., thanks!  It's never too late to learn... :)

@Paul Sorgi, thanks for the welcome!

I design and sell mainly cabinets and counters. I leave installation to the pros... 

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

@Lauren Heart, I am currently reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," and have several more books queued up in my Kindle! Currently setting goals for 2016...

@Ned Carey, I am stuffing as much knowledge in my head it will hold. BP is going to be a crucial part of my education.

@Paul Timmins, I am currently reading the UBG and binge-listening to the podcasts, 

Thank you all for the input!

Hello BiggerPockets!

My Name is Colin O'Neill and I live in Lowell, MA. I am interested in House Flipping for income initially, then transitioning to Buy and Hold for long term passive income and equity. Since my wife and I are in our mid-40s and have no retirement savings to speak of, I feel this is the best way to "fast-track" our retirement portfolio. I've been lurking for a bit and binge-listening to the Podcasts from episode 1 forward, and I'm getting very excited! My biggest fear is being able to get financing, as I had to file bankruptcy a few years ago due to a failed business (which in itself makes me gun-shy, too...). I'm a Kitchen & Bath Designer and have remodeled a bunch of kitchens and baths, so I'm hoping that experience will help make my flips, and rental properties, more competitive in the marketplace. I look forward to meeting many of the folks I have heard on the podcasts and seen writing the blogs. Cheers!
