Hello BP Community!

As a short introduction, I started following BP back in 2013 having always wanted to get into real estate. The community and podcasts always were able to get the gears turning but I would end up convincing myself I couldn’t pull it off in my market (Young and scared.)

In late 2019 my wife and I relocated from NY to Birmingham, AL where we purchased our first SFH with the "buy and hold" strategy in mind. Finally we are in a position to venture onto our second property and will begin adapting BRRRR in the near future. We are both enthusiastic about rehabbing and creating livable environments while also providing a "passive" income that will allow us to enjoy our time with our kids.

I’ve read the books, now it’s time to get to work. I’m always looking for learning experiences and/or partnerships so If you need anything in the Birmingham area please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Thanks all!

Hi Matthew, welcome to Birmingham! And congratulations on your decision to invest in real estate here. I actually started in upstate NY many years ago and ended up in Birmingham. We love it here. I've been an investor here for over 30 years and also an appraiser for almost 30 years. If you ever have any questions about the area, or anything about investing here feel free to reach out. Good Luck!
