A bit about me: My name is Beda, I live in Oakland and do Enterprise sales for a technology company. Before I discovered BP, I purchased my first condo in 2013 in Oakland to live in. Wanting a bit more space, I purchased a bigger house w/ a yard in Oakland, and began renting out my condo to a couple of great tenants.

Fast forward to a couple months back- I discovered BP, started listening to the podcasts and was exposed to this entirely new world of systematized & calculated real estate investing. Applying these learned concepts to my first two purchases, most folks would likely not consider them "good deals"; luckily, Oakland has been a hot market, so they've appreciated quite nicely.

I feel that the skill sets I've developed and use everyday for my sales career lend directly to being a successful real estate investor: I have a hunter mentality, I work hard but smart, and pretty much everything I do revolves around building, managing and closing out pipe.

So I'm committed to pursuing long term buy and hold, BRRRR if possible, in Columbus, Ohio. I'm in the process of pulling some equity out of my houses via refi, and will take the money to invest out there. I've booked a trip from 10/17-10/22 to look at, and hopefully make offers on, properties in the area.

Would love to connect and network with active folks out there - be it investors, agents, lenders, contractors, property managers, etc. I hope to get a ton accomplished in my short amount of time in the area, and soon establish a repeatable process to continually invest in this area!
