New to BP from Seattle

[Shaan Mathur]

My name is Shaan Mathur and I'm new to BP. I got my start with real estate investing in 2011 when I decided to buy and owner occupy a triplex in Seattle on the advice of a good friend of mine who works in commercial real estate.
Originally my strategy was to buy and hold, but after getting married and needing more space, I recently sold so my wife and I could get a single family home. I'm currently in the process of looking for a multifamily to 1031 my rental proceeds into--and the reseach on this process is what led me to BP.
