Hi Everyone,

My name is Brandon and I've been working as a commercial real estate analyst for the past 7 years. I started in appraisal in Chico, CA and have worked in commercial real estate lending and brokerage for the last 3 years in downtown San Francisco.

I have aspired to be a real estate investor for about 10 years now - ever since my mom took me to a 'guru' seminar back when I was 19. After going through college, the recession, and a wedding, I'm finally at a point where I'm ready to pull the trigger.

I have my broker's license, my wife is a Realtor, and my father-in-law is a General Contractor that has flipped homes in the past. We've decided to team-up and flip a house together. BiggerPockets has been a great resource and I'm grateful to be a part of the community!
