Hey there: Intro from New member in NYC...

[Matthew Spiegel]

Hey There -

So I just joined BP as a premium better and the site looks awesome, lots of useful info and tips as opposed to other REI investment sites I have seen that are pure fluff.

A little background on me born and bred New York (Brooklyn) now living in Queens (Long Island City). I have a background in Economic Theory from NYU, and have been doing real estate brokerage for the past 10 years both residential and commercial. Tired of being at the mercy of flaky buyers or sellers and ready to start investing as a principal and control my own destiny.

I have partnered up with a friend Jack who has owned several hundred units a sold them a few years back, and we are looking to hit the ground running and get into this full time focusing on wholesaling, rehabbing and eventually buy and hold once we find the right deal and have sufficient capital. Focusing on distressed real estate, foreclosure, probate, REO, short sales, etc. Currently in contract for a large one family home acquired at a probate auction, in Laurelton, Queens and looking to do a lot more.

Would like to network with other rehabbers, wholesalers, hard money lender, and investors.

Looking forward to networking with NYC members and making money together!
