Just wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself to the forum. I heard about it from a good friend who I frequently chat with about real estate investment and both of our goals for our futures.

A little on my background: I obtained my B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2009 and have worked in project management in the construction industry ever since. The projects I have worked on range from $50-150M in contract value, but my long term goal has always been to invest in residential real estate and establish a portfolio of stable assets. I am currently located in Fairfax, VA just outside of Washington, DC. I am 29 years old and have operated my own general contracting company since August of 2015, while also working as a project manager for large commercial construction companies (Walsh Construction of Chicago, IL and Grunley Construction of Rockville, MD).

Although the commercial work has been very exciting and rewarding, I am getting close to the point where I will be able to focus 100% on my own company. The focus of my business has been residential home improvement, leading into buying and flipping properties, followed by new home building and managing rentals. Recently, I partnered up with a MD contractor with a similar vision to mine. Our current status has been working on a few home improvement projects while at the same time building our business plan for the partnership. Both of us have a lot to learn about the real estate side of the market and hope we find the information on this forum beneficial. In turn, I also believe we can share a lot of our construction knowledge and experience with fellow forum members to help them out with their ventures.
