Doing my first deal.

[Jake Charles]

Hello Bigger pockets world!

Let me start by saying I am not an english major (That's what my girlfriend does ) so there will be so errors in the post. please hang in there.

That being said... Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Jake Charles, I live in a college town in rural Maine with a population of about 8,000. I grew up building houses with my father and have done everything from small repairs to whole construction of million dollar homes. A month ago I started listening to the BP pod cast and well I caught the real estate "Bug". I am now really want to apply what I know about homes to help me build a solid buy and hold portfolio.... And what do you know? a deal falls into my lap. A local landlord (Who had my father and I do some work to his properties) is looking to sell some of his building. He has been in the game a long time and is nearing retirement and is tired of dealing with the upkeep. 

Now before I ramble on and lose your interest (Not sure how much detail to get into this being my first forum post) I have used the BP Rental properties calc on this but me being new and this being a multiple building, multiple unit deal with both residential and commercial units my head is spinning. If anyone would be interested in helping my with my analysis that would be a huge help as I am starting to feel the creep of analysis paralysis setting in!     

Thanks Jake.
