New investor from San Jose, CA

[Jeremy Schreiber]

Hi BP Friends,

My name is Jeremy, and I'm a long time lurker on BP, and am excited to be actively joining in the fun.  

I live in the Bay Area of California, where I work in tech, particularly in hardware design and manufacturing - and have a huge passion for Virtual and Augmented Reality - it is the next wave of computing - and yes - I'm a bit of a recovering tech geek. My background is a blend of electrical engineering and business management. 

When it comes to investing - I became an "accidental landlord".  I used to live in Austin, TX and when I moved away, I decided to try my hand at renting my house with a property manager. It worked out really well, and years later I was able to leverage some of the equity to help buy my current house in San Jose.   In short, real estate has worked well for me - without expert planning and investment strategies - and I can't wait to see how well things go with some added effort! 

While on a 6-month assignment in Europe, I spent a lot of time on the road driving, and listening to Bigger Pockets Podcasts.  I'd be lying if I didn't say I became totally hooked on the idea of real estate investing!   So here I am ready to jump in and start actively participating - meeting people and building my network, and hopefully making a few deals to get the ball rolling.

Please reach out and say hi!  Also, I'm looking to invest out of state in Phoenix, AZ and/or the Dallas/Houston areas of Texas, so if you're from either of those markets - please say hi as well!  

Cheers everybody!!

Jeremy
