New Member Introduction - Currently in Champaign, IL

[Branden Edenfield]

Hi everyone! 

I am a new member to BP based in Champaign, IL (but that does not limit my search).  My current profession is a property manager in purpose built student housing in the area; however I have a long history with varied asset types in many markets around the country. I have physically managed assets ranging from Class D to Class A in New Orleans metro, Midland/Odessa, and Columbia, MO that have been conventional or student housing assets. With that company, I also assisted several properties across the country as we operated in the special servicing/receivership line of assets allowing me to develop my construction, repositioning, and asset sales knowledge. In the evenings I assist my parents with their business which is to acquire and develop recreational land (RV parks, hunting lodges, etc) as an asset consultant. I joined BP to be a part of the discussions, learn new tips and tricks, but most importantly network as my goal is to build my own portfolio of communities. I’m glad to be here and look forward to reading through the forums!
