Former Investment Banker Interested in Raleigh / Triangle Area

[Evan Fisher]

Hello to everyone on BiggerPockets!

My name is Evan Fisher, and I'm a real estate investment principal. A bit about me:

I grew up in New Jersey, went to college at Villanova University near Philadelphia, then studied a bit outside of the US in Italy, Shanghai and Switzerland, ultimately ending up in Geneva, Switzerland. My professional background has been in retail banking with TD Bank, commercial real estate with Cushman & Wakefield, and investment banking with a boutique investment bank specialized in Airlines, Aviation Services, Aerospace & Industrials. In my career so far, I've bought and sold several businesses, and raised circa $80 million for both privately-owned and publicly-listed companies.

For years I've been passively involved in Real Estate, renting out a property for decent cash flow, and continuing to educate myself for the "big push" into REI. After several years working internationally, I am now planning for the move back to the US. Together with a number of partners, including a Project Manager of a well-known national RE Developer, we have formed GreenSpire Properties, which will kick off our RE investment business. Right now we are focused on getting our Real Estate investment systems running like clockwork.

Markets: Our primary market of interest is the Triangle Area - Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I have a couple of specific areas of interest, feel free to reach out to discuss more.

Strategy: We're most interested in Buy-and-Hold investing in a few SFH to start. Can do a number of structures but ideally either seller-financed or all-cash buys, with or without partners.

Looking For: Partners & support network contacts! From Real Estate Agents to Wholesalers, an exceptional Accountant to other Investors - I am interested in linking up to see how we can work together!

What I Bring: Finance & business experience, passion for real estate, and most important, common sense. I'm looking forward to contributing my knowledge and skills to help better the BiggerPockets community, provide my perspective and form constructive dialogue on important issues facing our industry today. And through GreenSpire, I'm looking forward to bringing financing for our partners' projects through our network of investors, and making investments as a principal buyer. 

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes to all BiggerPockets Members!
