Hello from Sacramento California

[Gabriel Ugarte]

Hello BPers, 

I have been a member of BP for several months now but have failed miserably at introducing myself. 

My name is Gabriel Ugarte and I am a new real estate investor from Sacramento, California. I purchased my first primary residence in 2012 and by mid 2015 my property had doubled in value. That's the California market for you. After I sold that property I realized the power of real estate and I was hooked. 

So at the beginning of June 2016 I purchased my first flip out of state in Fort Worth, Texas. The project is well under way and I should do decently well on that property. The same week I closed on my flip I purchased a buy and hold in Baltimore, MD. This property needs full gut rehab and is also well under way. I plan on using the BRRRR strategy on this property and have already lined up a lender to refinance. This week I picked up my third property also in Baltimore for a buy and hold.

I hope that by finally introducing myself I can make more connections. My goal from BP is to learn from experienced investors and hopefully build relationships and/or partnerships that could be mutually beneficial. My goal in real estate is to primarily focus on buy and hold opportunities with an emphasis on multi-family once I meet the right person to teach me that part of the business. I will also continue to flip properties both out of state and in Northern California. 

I welcome all connections and advice and hope to partner up with one of you some day. 

Respectfully, 

Gabriel Ugarte
