Hey BiggerPockets community!

My name is Nikolay and I'm based in San Jose, CA. I'm a construction engineer and licensed GC with my own crew, and I've been in the industry since 1998 — first in Europe, then in the US since 2018.

I bring a full package: engineering, architecture, design, and hands-on construction management. We handle everything from groundbreak to finish.  Some of our projects have been published in design and architecture magazines.

Now I'm ready to take that experience into real estate investing. My focus is fix & flip in San Jose and the surrounding areas. I'm looking for a capital partner for JV deals — I manage the entire rehab, you bring the capital, we split profits 50/50.

Also here to learn, connect with experienced investors, and find a mentor who's been down this road.

If you're a flipper, investor, or just want to connect — let's talk!

Best,

Nikolay

    @Nikolay Mishakov 

    Welcome Nikolay. With your background as a construction engineer and licensed GC running your own crew, you already have a big advantage that many investors don’t. In a market like San Jose, controlling construction costs and timelines can make or break a flip. If you can show consistent budgets, timelines, and before/after results, you’ll likely attract the capital partners you’re looking for. Glad to have you in the community.

    Nikolay, welcome to the BP community. With your engineering and GC background, you already have a strong advantage going into fix and flip investing. Many investors struggle to find reliable construction teams, so your skillset is valuable.
