[Jason T.]

Hello BP community! My name is Jason Trapp. I’m a finance professional, husband, and proud father of 2 amazing children. Born and raised in Southern California, but also lived abroad (London) for some time.

I have minimal real estate investment experience, but I have worked in the biz…I worked for a wholesale mortgage lender for a couple years. At the end of my second year our firm was purchased by a large bank, and I transitioned to the investment banking side where I worked with loan securitization. I guess one could say I've seen the full gambit of various loan products through the following path – loan origination (borrower), loan sold to institutional investor, product being securitized / packaged and then sold back to the street.

I'm very interested in note investing, and acquisition of positive cash flow rental properties via self directed IRA and personal and/or business funds.

I’m loving the site, and am looking forward to networking / interacting with you all (especially local SoCal residents), and am excited to jump into some good dialogue!
