Hello! I'm Steve, a 28-year-old mechanical engineer from Cleveland, Ohio currently living in North Olmsted, Ohio. I'm here to facilitate adding real estate to my investment portfolio with the ultimate goal of achieving financial freedom. I'm very green, and looking forward to learning as much as I can from this great community!
I am interested in buying commercial income properties, with good NOI and Cap rates going in, that are free and clear, and the seller does not need a lot of cash at closing. They are willing to carry-back at least 50% of the deal. I use hard money lenders for the first 50%. Minimum equity spread from sales price to after improved value...
I currently hold a full time job but I am beginning the transition into real estate full time (being a Realtor and a buy and hold investor).
With an expanding family my wife and I realized that the status quo of corporate life will not allow us to achieve our financial goals. After a lot of consideration we have decided to head into the exciting arena of real estate investing.
I am a novice in real estate investing. Currently living in the residence I intend to be my first rental property. Come January/February 2013, I will purchase another home for my primary residence and inch ever closer to my dream of becoming a competent real estate investor.
I began my real estate investing in Chicago and after 7 years in the city, it was time to move on, and the Pacific Northwest is the next stop on this journey.
I have been in finance, real estate since 2000 and most recently Title Insurance. I am the General Manager for TCA, Inc The Closing Avenue as well as Only Way Realty Kissimmee. I love connecting with people and have a passion for whatever projects come my way.
New to real estate, although it has always piqued my interest. I am excited to learn and hopefully acquire some very useful knowledge from my interactions with the real estate veterans here on BP to help me break in to this competitive field.
