A notch above novice from Richmond, VA

[Matthew Maggy]

I traveled around the world after leaving Reno and a year in Americorps; and ended up in Richmond, VA a little over a year ago. I started a Walking Tour business (http://www.RichmondTourGuys.com) and I also got a job as an Assistant for a General Contractor that specializes in Historic Restorations (Restoration Builders of Virginia - http://www.RBVAinc.com). I previously had no construction experience, but have learned a lot, which has really come in handy for assessing potential deals.

As far as real estate investing experience goes, I bought a condo in Reno, NV in 2010 cash (I could not obtain credit) which has cash-flowed and appreciated nicely. I'm now looking for a multi-family unit property in Richmond, but deals are getting harder and harder to come by in this very heated market.

If any of you are local, or looking at coming to Richmond, or whatever, instead of buying you a cup of coffee, I'll invite you to come on my Historic Walking Tour for free. If your looking to invest here, I can teach you about the City, or if you're a local, it'll be great to meet a fellow BPer. If you want to come on a tour, just hit me up via Reply and we'll work out the deets.
