Appraiser and Investor

[Account Closed]

BP Friends,

I am happy to be a part of this growing community of real estate enthusiasts. A little bit about me: I am a licensed CG (Certified General) real estate appraiser currently living in Searcy, Arkansas where I teach Finance and Real Estate at the college level. I hold an MBA from University of North Carolina and have work experience at CBRE (in commercial valuation), Ernst and Young ( in transaction real estate), and confounding a residential appraisal company (Texas Appraisal Services). I also held my real estate license in Texas. I have experience with both flips and buy and holds.

Long story short, I have done my investing on the residential side and currently own a couple residential rental units. I really want to grow this, specifically in the Dallas/Ft. Worth market. My goal is to one day own 100 units. I know DFW market well from my years spent doing appraisal work there, and I see that market being a great place to invest long term. 

I would love to meet as many of you as are open to it, specifically any investing in the DFW market. 

God bless you all,

Josiah Smelser
