Haven’t lived in the metroplex since undergrad.

Background: I am an undergraduate student starting a real estate fund with $100,000 pledged from the Administration.
As mentioned above I am starting a real estate investing club on my college campus with a good chun...

No undergrads at present, just grad and professional.

I have a background and education in Construction Engineering and worked in commercial construction for the better part of a decade while I was investing in residential real estate on the side.I've been in brokerage as a real estate advisor for the past 4+ years full time and I specialize in 2-4 unit residential multifamily which accounts for half of what I do (about 2 or 3 multifamily deals a month) and the other half consist of single family homes and condos.I grew up in San Diego and its all I know, I got my undergrad in Construction Engineering and Graduate degree in Business locally also.I am a big fan of starting off investing locally with low money down and that is how I personally started myself...I read a ton of books and listened to countless hours of podcasts but all the magic happened when I stopped reading and listening and started taking action.Welcome and feel free to send me a private message if you want to chat.
