Hello Grand Rapids
Hello Everyone! My name is Greg and I am a 25 year old newbie looking to invest in the Grand Rapids market. I have spent the last year or so listening to all the BP podcasts, reading the recommended books, attending webinars, and spending countless hours reading on the forums. Unfortunately I have made many excuses as to why not take the plunge initially but the time has come to start really taking action.
A little bit about me, I graduated college with a Chemical Engineering degree and have been working as a Project Engineer in the automotive industry for almost two years now. I have been living and working on the east side of Michigan in Troy, but will soon be making my way to the Grand Rapids area. I have created an interesting opportunity at work that will allow me to start working in West Michigan part time in January and slowly transitioning to be there near full time. This gives me about 2-5 months to find the right place to start investing.
My plan is to house hack by buying a 2-4 unit house in Grand Rapids. I am looking to connect with any realtors, wholesalers, and anyone else in the area. I know there is a meetup at BW3s once a month but like I said, I am currently working on the other side of the state during the week. I do however spend most of my weekends in the Grand Rapids area.
I look forward to learning and growing with the Grand Rapids, West Michigan, and Bigger Pockets community as a whole!
