Old dog, new tricks - Battle Ground, WA
Fun fact: Battle Ground is named after a battle that didn’t happen. Hats off to Captain Strong.
A bit about me. I started in construction as a general laborer back in 1994. Since then, I finished college and continued working my way up through the ranks to sit as our Chief Estimator and Safety Officer. I’ve worked for the same general contractor, full time since 1998. We specialize in heavy civil, public works projects worth up to $50M, but at one point in the early 2000’s we even built spec homes as well.
Through my experience, I conceptualized and built our home. I have an eye for design as well as the ability to make it reality. We love the area and everything that the PNW has to offer.
That being said, my wife and I are looking in a handful of markets currently for various reasons.
- Vancouver WA
- I5 Corridor from Eugene, OR to Centralia, WA
- Huntsville, AL
- Phoenix, AZ
- Las Vegas, NV
- Houston, TX
We are also exploring all sort of Buy and Hold/BRRRR properties from SFR to Small Apartment Complexes. We are open to all sorts of buy/rehab/funding scenarios. I love the idea of house hacking (I have VA benefits) as well as hard or private money. Let's get creative!
I really enjoy my day job, but will want to have more financial freedom before I turn 60. My goal is to have our first REI under contract in the next 60 days. I'd love to make contacts in all of these areas and others!
