I have been investing investing in rental properties since 2007 but I have been around investment property all my life as my father invested in several properties over the years and I found myself getting involved with some of the maintenance to those properties as I was growing up. Mostly grunt work but I learned a lot over the years.

I found the BP Website back in 2017. Since then I've been reading posts gaining knowledge and information. I also spend time listening the the podcasts and I really enjoy the content.

By family trade I was to be a third generation clothing store owner. However, in the early 90's we decided to shut down the business and do other things. I worked in the packaging industry for a bag company in my home town for a few years then I decided to get in to IT after getting married. I stayed in IT for 18 years and left 4 years ago to pursue real estate investing full time.

In addition to my very small portfolio of 5 properties, I also own and manage along side my brother, the properties (commercial and residential) my father left behind when he passed 4 years ago.

I am looking to continue adding to my small portfolio of long term buy and hold properties but I also want to get in to some house flips each year. While all my properties are currently in Louisiana, I am interested in opportunities both in Louisiana and out. I also want to work with my brother to grow the portfolio he and I share.

I am interested in investing in Multi Family properties and Single Family.

I look forward to learning more and networking with you.
