INTRO - RE Investor / Entrepreneur

[Jake Panko]

Hi BP,

I grew up in Round Rock, TX and went to University of Texas at Austin. My business partner and I just started a real estate investment company that will be focusing on fix and flips in Austin and other Texas cities. 

I come from a small business background in Austin and real estate investing has always been in my family. I would be grateful to network and work with other similar minded individuals. I look forward to add value to the BP community. 

All the best,

Jake Panko
