Newbie from Michigan.
Hi BP! I am Chris, originally from Sydney, Australia, and moved to the US not too long ago.
Why Join BP?
- Align interests with my investing strategy
- Meet new people in this new country I find myself now calling home (I am sure my partner will also appreciate me not bugging her during this pandemic)
I've always had an interest in real estate, and now that I have a stable base (not changing countries every year), I am excited to sink my teeth in.
I plan to invest in buy & hold multifamily (4 units+). Currently, I am consuming everything I can around multifamily properties, and I have started to focus on the BRRR strategy.
Day-To-Day I help build the technological infrastructure to help cars drive themselves, so if you ever want to ask questions about how autonomous vehicles will shape the future of cities, I am right in the middle of that stuff.
I am looking forward to meeting/talking/discussing and being a member of this community

@Chris Fentiman BP is a great place to start.
You can meet a good handful of investors on here who focus in Michigan.
Once the craziness is over make sure to get out to as many meetups and networking groups as possible.
Good luck and I look forward to meeting you some day!
