New member (sort of) from Richmond, VA

[Ed Osowski]

Hello BP,

I'm not precisely a new member as I've been lurking for a few months without introduction. That said, I recently went full-time in real estate and I figured I should say hi.

I am originally from Vermont, moved to Virginia for law school. Actually, I had never been to Virginia until I got off the plane a few days before school started. It worked out great though, made a bunch of friends and I love it here.

I also lucked into an internship with a local buy and hold investor during my third year of law school. I've heard a few podcasts mention that the best thing a new investor can do is find a mentorship/apprenticeship situation so I am very grateful that I took the job.

Long story short, I was just hired as the acquisitions manager for the same firm I worked with during school. The office staff is intentionally small so I get to be a part of everything from direct mail to raising money. Looking forward to learning a lot at work and on BP.
