Newly Retired College Athlete looking for Deal #1
Hi Everyone! I am currently finishing up my MBA, which I was able to earn while playing my 5th year of college soccer. I previously worked for a private equity company, and completely fell in love with real estate. While I am working during the day, I have real estate podcasts (very often from bigger pockets), and much of my free time outside of work is dedicated to reading books, analyzing deals, and watching videos. I have an incredible passion to fully immerse myself in the passive real estate investing space. While my passion was once soccer, it has now transitioned into real estate. My goal is to utilize an FHA loan to do an owner-occupied house as my first deal, hopefully within a year.
I am excited to join BP and connect with investors who share the same drive and determination!

Out of state investing adds risk to the equation. Newer investors are best served investing locally before they have experience.
