New member. Wanted to introduce myself

[Benjamin Riehle]

Hello All, My name is Ben Riehle and am a new member to bigger pockets. I'm 25 years old and located in sunny Tucson, Arizona. I did my first property at age 18 and since have been involved in 75 plus deals. I have worked in all aspects, from locating, to remodeling, to flipping and property managing. My education background is an undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona in accounting and a JD from UofA's College of Law. I am a partner in a small scale brokerage catering to investors and nitch markets. Our management arm has around 300 properties under management in it's second year of business. On the real estate side we have 10 agents who primirally focus on flip and long term investment deals. Along with the brokerage, I am a partner in a construction company I started in 2014. I started the company after realizing I was spending so much time babysitting GCs on investment projects that I could do a better job running them myself. Last year we did roughly $1.5 million in revenue, primarily from in-house remodel projects. I have become a member at bigger pockets to gain more knowledge and connect with fellow real estate junkies. My goal is to create a vertically integrated, one stop investment option, that is scaleable in numerous markets across the country and I think that this site can help turn the dream into a reality. I look forward to connect with many of you and finding ways to help each other grow in the business. Best,
