Hi, My name is Robert Kersten V.

Good Evening!

My name is Robert Kersten V. I am an active duty USCG member and have been in the service for over 10 years now. My career is something that I cherish and I will continue with it for the next 10 years to reach a 20yr retirement. However, I have this fire in my gut to do even more with my life; to be great. Ever since I was a young teen, I have had inkling that I wanted to be heavily involved in real estate. This is most likely because I was surrounded by people in the industry or because I have read extensively as to what solid wealth comes from. Nevertheless, I can’t resist the urge any longer. Now is the time, I am 28 and ready to learn and grow. I have a beautiful wife, a 4year old daughter, and a son on the way. My life is in full motion and I want the next level.

Where I am from/where I’ve been:

1. I am a Nevada state resident from Douglas County.

2. Being in the military I have lived in Louisiana (Near NOLA).

3. I CURRENTLY live in Marin County, California.

4. I hope to transfer to Houston Galveston, TX area next summer.

My association to real estate:

1. My mother was an Escrow Officer for 15+ years

2. Step Father was a Mortgage Broker for multiple companies.

3. Uncle has owned and sold multiple properties for profit.

4. A few friends and family who are RE Agents.

My Skill Set:

1. Management and Supervision from Military Training/Experience.

2. 1 year of Construction Academy.

3. Ran a handyman/home improvement business in Louisiana for 1 year.

4. I have assisted in the construction of 2 custom homes.

My RE Interests:

1. Fix and Flip. (I think I have the Fix part of the skill set down.)

2. Owning Rental Properties. Both single and multi.

3. Maybe one day, contracting and development.

4. Possibly Wholesaling. (Which I know nothing about, just read a little on here so far.)

5. Anything else that would make me a RE EXPERT. I want to get to this point, but how? That’s why I am here.

So there you have it my new friends. I apologize for the looong post, but I really want to get to know some good mentors and possibly partners one day. I am here, young and inexperienced for the most part and my mind is ready to be molded.

;)
