Hey everyone! My name is Ben Shipley. Im originally from Fort Smith, Arkansas. Currently reside in Dallas, Texas. I work for residential real estate developer here in DFW focusing in high end single family homes and large multifamily. I currently only have 1 rental property, but am hungry to expand.
Newbie investor, well kinda. Currently have 1 SFH investment in Northern CA that we've owned for 15 years...recently purchased our first OOS MF in Ohio. You'd think we'd know a little more about REI, but no, we don't. And that's why I'm here on BP - to learn and share my experiences with this wonderful community!
First of all... I love all things Real Estate! The money, the deal, the chase, the disappointment, and most of all the challenge. Ever day is different along with every deal.
I currently have absolutely NO experience in real estate. I've been reading around BP for a while now. Looking at making some sort of investment in real estate, hopefully sometime soon. However looking to gain some more insight before making that big decision.
General Contractor, Realtor with over 15 years in REI and Home Improvement
