Long time Lurker from St. Paul, MN

[Christian Rasmussen]

Greetings BP!

Long time Lurker - brand new member. Real Estate Investor and Real Estate Agent.

My name is Christian Rasmussen. I'm from St. Paul, MN. I began investing in Real Estate in 2011. 3 flips and 2 holds from 2011 - 2015.  In 2015 I became a Real Estate Agent, mainly to help with investments but I've found that I really love helping people find/sell RE. 

As I worked towards becoming a better agent I put investing on the back burner until I was ready to take it to the next level.

I just took a 3 month road trip (living in the woods!) to prepare myself for the next phase of my life. I got back home two weeks ago. I'm now focused and driven unlike I ever have been and I plan to take my investing to the next stage. 

That being said... Since I've been back, I've been doing a lot!

I'm currently securing a Tri-Plex with seller financing - hoping for closing by August 1st, if not July 1st... 

I am beginning to invest using Hard Money, which is a tricky game but our numbers work. This is what brought me to become a BiggerPockets member. 

BP is a great source of information and a great source of intelligent humans! Creative discussions, logical discussions - Right Brain, Left Brain. All Real Estate related. This is what I love. This is what I do. You guys are awesome. This site rocks. I've already implemented strategies I've learned on BP. And things are just getting started!

Anyways, I'm young and have a lot of energy - if you haven't noticed =). I'm really looking forward to learning about you and your deals, hearing your tips and your advice, getting to know you as a person and being able to reciprocate all of that myself. And I'm looking fondly at the idea of doing business with some of you sometime in the future. 

Thanks for having me BP!
