Newcomer from Brooklyn/Connecticut

Doug Borchert

Hi BP crowd,

I'm Doug Borchert, newcomer from Brooklyn, NY / New Fairfield, CT. I recently purchased my first buy-and-hold rental investment property on Candlewood Lake (in CT) this past October, and instantly got hooked on real estate. With the red-hot local residential marketing, my new focus for this year is pre-foreclosure and foreclosure small multi-family buildings (only 2-3 units) in the $100K-$300K range. Primarily looking at places needing cosmetic fixes - new bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and paint...then getting tenants in.

My true expertise is in marketing and advertising - I've been running digital, mobile, and social media advertising sales for the last decade - and I am more than happy to lend a hand to anyone needing brainstorming, ideas, strategy, or just back-and-forth discussion in this area. Feel free to give me a shout!

Thanks,

Doug

Hey @Doug Borchert

Welcome to BP and congrats on getting hooked. It's a dangerous, slippery slope from here on out, LOL.

Reach out sometime, would love to connect on the marketing front. 

Thanks,
Filipe
