Hi BP Community,  

I was not too long ago recommended to start using this site from a colleague of mine who spoke highly of it. After a few months of lurking I finally decided to open an account. 

I wanted to quickly introduce myself to the community as I am hoping to becoming a pretty active user of the site.

I currently reside in Brighton, MA but most of the time I am traveling across the United States for work. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst in 2010 with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Engineering Management. After college I joined a Management consulting firm that has allowed me to develop great skills and travel across the world.

I have always been really interested in Real Estate and I am in the process of obtaining my RE license on the side. I recently closed my first deal on a multifamily property on Cape Cod.  The process was very long due to contingencies and negotiations but I feel  like I have learned a lot and I continue to  learn more in the process. I am also in the process of doing some rehab work on the home so getting more and more familiar with working with GCs and doing some of the work myself. 

I am really looking forward to getting to know all of you, exchange some great ideas, learn from the community, share my own experience and possibly work/partner with some of you in the future on some deals. I would also love to do some networking in the Greater Boston and Cape Cod area and attend meetups with fellow motivated individuals.

Thanks for your time!

Charlie
