[Michael Douglas Christensen]

Hello BiggerPockets! My name is Michael Christensen and I am a 26-year-old real estate newbie from Riverton, Utah. 

For the past 5 years I have been attending college – I received my B.S. in biology a few years ago, and have been at the University of Utah School of Medicine for the past 2 years studying to become a doctor (2 more years to get my M.D. and then 3-5 more years for residency). 

In July I took a leave of absence to start a business and since that time I have been obsessed with learning about real estate. I’ve listened to most of the BP podcasts, read many of the classics, and recently finished The Book on Tax Strategies for the Savvy Real Estate Investor which blew my mind. 

I'm currently most interested in buy and hold single family rental properties and the BRRRR strategy. I'm looking to do my first deal between December-May 2017 and would love to connect with anyone in my area.
