Hello from Phoenix, Arizona
Hey everyone, my name is Corey Patterson from Phoenix, Arizona. I found the BP Podcast on the 12 hour overnight (8pm-8am!) drive from Phoenix, AZ to Pleasonton, CA. I fell in love with the charisma of the hosts and all the useful information of the guests, so I listened to about 8 of them straight through while the wife slept. As soon as we hit a hotel I jumped on my cell phone and signed up on the website.
I'm pretty new to being a landlord. I bought a house in 2009, right after the market crash, lived it in for a few years and then moved out into a rental. The rental was in a better neighborhood and the rent was cheaper than my mortgage! I found some great tenants and am actually able to pay my rent with what I charge them over my mortgage.
Now I'm hooked. I have plenty of questions for you all.
Owning my own home has reignited my interest in fixing up the house--when I was younger I would always help my grandmother with her house. So my skills have definitely improved and I believe I can fix most any problem from drywall, to laying pavers, to flooring, etc. Now I need to learn the business aspect of buying properties, investing in repairs, and renting them out.
I look forward to meeting you all someday.
Corey
