[Anthony L.]

Hi everyone. My name is Anthony, from Massachusetts, specifically North Shore area. I found BP while doing some research and learning more about real estate investing. I've been making my way through all the podcasts over time, and I'm just about halfway through.

I learned the basics of real estate investing at a young age, watching my father manage two properties which he inherited, and quickly realized it was a great way to make supplemental income. Since this realization, I've been in love with the idea.

I work for a real estate investment firm managing a growing portfolio of over 100 properties. I've learned a ton about being a landlord and property management in the short time I've been at my current job...too much to explain in this short post. In that time, I've also begun investing on my own - closing on my first property just over a month ago.

I'm very eager to build upon my first investment and continue growing my own personal portfolio. I'm also very interested and driven to complete a flip sometime in the near future.

Specifically, I'm interested in the financing behind these deals that would allow me to continue to grow my investments. My personal property is an owner occupied 2-unit that I was able to get with an FHA loan on. I am trying to find out more about how to leverage this property into my next venture, but I'm afraid I may be somewhat limited due to the FHA and general financing restrictions.

I'd love to connect with and create relationships with other investors/lenders in my area so that we could share experiences and ideas, and network to ultimately help each other out. I'd be happy to go into more detail on anything I've mentioned so feel free to get in touch with me!
