New Oklahoma City and Long Distance Real Estate Investor

[Collin Groves]

Hi, Bigger Pockets! My name is Collin, and I am currently living in Washington DC while I get my Masters in Business from Georgetown. I grew up in both Texas and Oklahoma before attending Oklahoma University for my undergrad. Afterwards, I worked down in Houston until I completed a Leadership Rotational Program in the Oil and Gas Industry.

With my family living back in Oklahoma City, some even working in the real estate space, I have worked to build out my knowledge of the real estate market there. I’d love to be able to invest in, grow, and give back to the community that gave me so much growing up! After rapid expansion over the past decade, OKC was recently named the top city for entrepreneurs. The city continues to build out while maintaining a relatively low cost of living. I’d love work my own 90-day challenge in this market (if the right opportunity is there).

I’ve been listening to podcasts, reading books, going to meet ups, and simply talking to people about real estate for a few months. I have built out my own real estate financial model, that I have let other investors vet and use on their own deals. Now, I am in a position to take the next step. I plan on blogging my progress and experiences in hopes of encouraging others to take that next step too!

Passive income mixed with the BRRRR methodology seems right up my alley. The 3 areas I am interested in investing in are: single family home rentals, multi-family home rentals, and oil and gas leases.

I'm open to all your advice and suggestions! I am an eager learner and happy to help.

Thank you in advance!

@Rhett Tullis Thank you for the heads up! I'd love to connect. My thought is that the leases would be a way to marry my background in finance and operations with my interest in the market and overall real estate. For the time being, I am focusing my efforts around residential deals in the Shepard Historic District and Village area.
