New BP Member in Jacksonville, FL

[Dylan Lein]

Hello all! I wanted to take the time to introduce myself to the BP community. I've been following for some time now and am a huge fan of the content available and the forums provided. 

A little about myself, I was raised in Jacksonville, FL and love the area and community. I left for the military out of high school and returned after my service to finish my degree and begin my career in construction. While I was in school, I obtained by contractors license and recently graduated this past spring with a degree in Construction Management. I began working for Bold Homes, a Residential Contracting Company in the beginning of 2016 while in school, and continue with them to this day as a Project Manager. Our work covers just about anything in the residential sector to include new builds, storm work, home design, and complete home renovations.

Outside of work, I've enjoyed some success buying, selling, and renting properties. I bought my first single family home in 2015 in Jax just prior to leaving the military living in it for two years before selling it for a sizable gain. From there, I bought a larger home with my best friend and business partner that we lived in and rented out while we went to school in the area. Just recently, we purchased a duplex in the Riverside area of Jacksonville that we completely renovated and now live in while renting out the other unit and home. 

Moving forward, I'm looking to at least buy a couple properties each year to rehab and rent while looking at other real estate opportunities by getting more involved in areas like BP and my local community. I love what I do so I'll continue to work and integrate what I learn with my personal real estate goals. 

Feel free to message me or reply with any comments, advice, or questions you may have.

Thanks,

Dylan
