Lancaster, PA- Around the world now back stateside!

Thane Holland

Posted

Newbie BP Pro member here. My name is Thane Holland (Thane is Scottish, Mom was a Shakespeare nut!)  Thanks to Brandon T for turning me onto BP.  In a nut shell...I'm a Texan that went to HS in WI and college in IA and then spent that last 15 years in China (selling rubber, brass and the occasional gov procurement). Came back 1.5 yrs ago and settled in PA. My daytime gig is buying/liquidating industrial parks and factories. I'd like to get into the Lancaster rental residential market but I'm a tad gun shy. Problem is that I know more about the Chinese market than my own! I'm interested in multi family and as most of you, expanding my portfolio. My biggest weaknesses are evaluating a residential deal and understanding/exercising the tools used to leverage properties in order to expand one's portfolio. In 17603 if anybody wants to grab a glass of wine or a cold one and talk shop, dreams or fishing!

    @Thane Holland Do you do the commercial stuff for a company such as liquidating industrial parks and factories? I have a bunch of those types of leads nationwide (not motivated but possibly vacant for example) I don't know much about this stuff I am more into residential wholesaling.

    @Nate Jones, You got it! You buying ;)

    @Account Closed, I mostly appraise the equipment and environmental state of the properties...we do all removal, cleanout and demo if needed. I love vacant commercial buildings. If you have properties that are sitting vacant, have remediation needs or just need to be wrecked, let me know!
