Hi All, I'm Ryan from Southern California!

[Ryan Hammel]

Hi All!

My name is Ryan and I currently reside in sunny Southern California. I am 28 years old and I have been working for an investment fund in Newport Beach flipping homes across the country for the past few years. I was in commercial real estate prior to that and am ready to take the plunge into making money for myself instead of others. I am here to meet others with similar interests, make mutually beneficial relationships and learn, learn, learn!

Please feel free to reach out to me through BP with any tips on starting out, information on hot markets, investor leads, or just to say Hi. I hope to use this site as a tool to grow as a person and an investor. Thanks in advance for your help!
