10 year "newbie" in Southeast Michigan getting serious

[Travis Walker]

Hey, I'm Travis. I'm located in Belleville, MI (and buy in the surrounding areas). I started out as a contractor (family business) when I was 13 and "lucky" for me the market crashed when I turned 18. Lo and behold a low barrier of entry into the real estate market. I started buying foreclosures in 2007 and expanded slowly over the last 10 years (~1 rental per year). I have done two successful flips and currently own 10 rentals. With graduate school (Industrial/Organizational Psychology; don't worry, nobody knows what it means) and the first few years in the workforce behind me I am getting serious about expanding more rapidly over the next 5-10 years. 

I stumbled through my first 10 years through (a lot of) trial and error. I am currently focused on expanding my knowledge through BP, books, and working with mentors in order to increase my portfolio. Beyond that I am also looking to expand my team with a good local lawyer. 

I am excited to meet local investors. Thanks for taking the time to welcome me in!

Is this where we go around the room and volunteer a fun fact? I played competitive paintball for my college (Go Blue!)
