Urban Planner/Designer from New Jersey

[Chris Townley]

I've been interested in fixing up houses ever since I was a kid. I started out by going to architecture school, but only lasted a year their. After working in construction management & estimating for a few years, I went back to school and now have a master's degree in Urban Planning. Grad school is where I was really bitten by the real estate investing/development bug. I'm starting out with buying & holding small multifamily properties to build wealth, but I would like to expand to small scale development, focusing on re-investing in walkable downtowns.

My wife and I just purchased our first property, a two-family that we're going to live in and rent out the second unit. We're interested in buying more properties, either 2-4 unit buy and hold, or single family flips.

I'd love to meet people in the area, and I look forward to getting to know other BP members!
