[Joshua Frahm]

Hello,

My name is Josh Frahm, I am 25 years old and currently live in Southern NH. I lived in Boston for about 4.5 years while I obtained my bachelors of science in Facilities Planning and Management from Wentworth Institute of Technology. My interest was sparked in Real estate investing after reading Think and Grow Rich and Rich Dad Poor Dad. Now I am constantly researching, reading and listening about real estate investing and developing a comprehensive financial education. 

I am currently a Project Manager for Design and Construction for DaVita Healthcare Partners, a fortune 100 company. Even though I enjoy my job and my salary is pretty good, I want to begin my career in real estate investing. 

My experience in real estate investing is limited to my own reading and research and the exposure I have with my current job. My exposure with real estate in my current position is but not limited to, initial site searches, site selection, RFP's, LOI's and lease negotiation through execution. After lease execution I work with an architect on the design of our facility and then higher a general contractor that I manage for the build out. During the whole process I am constantly talking back and fourth with LL's and my real estate transaction team.

With that said, I now want to begin my life in real estate investing. My 5 year goal is to invest in enough real estate to develop a constant cash flow so I can leave my job and  focus 100% on real estate and my personal life.

My goal for 2015 is to buy my first investment property, a multi-family home that I will fix up a bit, live in one of the units and rent out the others. I figure this will give me a great opportunity to experience being a LL and a chance to get myself started in real estate. I look forward to talking with all of you and hopefully meeting some of you in the near future. 

All advice, comments and constructive criticism is welcome!

Regards, 

Josh Frahm
