Hi San Diego crew, I am brand new to BP; I am an investor and agent specializing in multi-family real estate.

But everything is brand new, I am only going to use 2%.

Ultimately, this will be nearly a brand new home with new flooring, drywall, kitchen, bathrooms, fixtures, roof, and everything else you can imagine for a full gut rehab.

Hello all,I am brand new to the BP forums, but I have been listening to BP podcasts for about a year now.  

There is no "typical," @Oliver Binns.

My marketing background also gives me a sense of wanting to build my own brand as an agent, while complimenting my brokerage.

Ring doorbell, Nest Thermostat, (I forget the brand but) smart wall plugs/light switches got A LOT of attention in our latest rental and cost very little.
