Hello BP - Live here from South Seattle!

What is up BP!

So my first name is Jeffrey but I go by my middle name, Blake (don't ask...). I grew up in Snohomish County and just recently closed on my first house in South Seattle (White Center to be specific). I graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Finance. I went into banking because I really didn't know how else to start in real estate. I did mortgages and commercial loans for about 3 years then found myself a very small commercial real estate firm as a research analyst, my boss was crazy so I found another gig at JLL where I am currently a research analyst that specializes in industrial properties in the Puget Sound region.  I also hold my real estate license and do not hang it anywhere but hopefully one day I can actually put it to use!  

I have been listened to BP for about five years but now that I have some capital and have gained some decent equity in my first purchase, I am ready for some bigger and better things! I really want to meet like minded people and just learn about more creative ways to gain wealth through real estate. I also love working with my hands and hate sitting at a desk 9 hours a day so hopefully one day I can make real estate a full time job by working for myself. My 10+ year goal is to own a small portfolio of rentals throughout the region and manage them with my girlfriend/partner. :) 

Cheers to 2021 and better things!
