 Joseph: 

Thanks for the warm welcome. Really appreciate it. And I did notice you were a loan officer, mind if I call sometime later today? I have a few questions that I need to know prior to making my first purchase. 

And yes! I have been trying to make it out to the Dave and Buster's in Columbus Blvd but my class was scheduled on Mondays at 6. Last day of class this Monday, so I hope to make it out to the next one. I may have a review day coming up two weeks later.

 Nice! Hoping to mature myself to that level soon Troy! But for now I am just networking and trying to get a team together. Any chance any of these GC's that work in Philly would like me as a referral? 

Negative. I am still young have about 17 years to go. I say "was" because I found that in this industry, there are literally an unimaginable number of strategies and ideas, that I found myself never having a solid goal for more than one week, and I love it! I would love to retire early, but I am just not 100% sure if it will be at 45. 

Hey guys!

I did an intro post before, but figured I'd make a more formal one now. 

Currently I am finishing my RE class to become an agent. I will gladly offer my services to you guys here, just inbox me and let me see if I can be of any assistance. 

But while I was busy studying for my state exam, I started the preliminary work getting together a pretty detailed SOW for myself. I have pinpointed a project that I would like to rehab and flip. Everything seems like it's in line and I will create a new post of that project. I will try and keep it updated as much as possible, maybe every 3-4 days. 

But for now, I just wanted to reach out again and introduce myself as an investor friendly agent, and as a fellow investor as well. 

I would love any tips from you gurus out there, and if anyone else is starting out and have a few questions let me know as well, I love seeing how everyone else is overcoming the obstacle of getting their first project started!

 Mark thanks for the welcome. And absolutely love the podcasts, and actually just purchased The Book on Flipping Houses. Getting ready to make a move soon and feel more confident than ever!

 I am also curious, as I am running into similar problems!

Seen your website Troy, great work! Have you been able to find a GC or subs? Or do you do most or all of your work yourself?

I too have a handyman that does his own work. I am actually working with him to put together a full-time team, he is extremely busy. He may not be that much help right now, but can definitely become a great asset later on as he is loyal, trustworthy, prompt, does great work, and has great work and business ethics. Would this contact info suffice for that lenders spreadsheet ???

Hey guys sorry to piggy back off this post, but I came across this searching HVAC in philly. I also am in need of an HVAC installation estimate. 

 Funding has been a pain for me as well. I've read a few forums here but still kind of difficult to get a decent quote. I'm currently reading The Book on Flipping Houses and so far it has shown me a lot with regards to rehabbing and marketing, but I feel like I have to read the funding chapter again. I'm meeting a few local banks and investors next week, if I hear anything and you're still looking I'll be glad to get you some contacts.

I love the attention to detail you guys put into this house! Congrats on the first flip hope everything goes smoothly till settlement!
