Hi All! New BP Investor & Agent Here!

[Noah Corwick]

Hi all!

I have been an avid Bigger Pockets listener and fan for over 3 years and finally wanted to introduce myself. I am a real estate investor and licensed realtor focusing on north Phoenix, Cave Creek and Scottsdale, Arizona.

My origin story for getting into real estate was super accidental. One day my best friend asked if I could qualify for a house mortgage because his credit wasn’t great. The arrangement was that if I mortgaged the home, he would fix and flip the house. As scared and anxious as I was, I agreed.

Fast forwarding, I ended up doing a whole lot more than just getting us the mortgage for the flip. We ended up sharing 50/50 responsibilities for working the entire project including structuring the deals, funding, designing, bookkeeping, and overall project management.

Because of the difficulties we faced with our realtor when it was time to sell, I made the conscious decision to get my real estate license and vowed to never go through the frustrations, headaches and money left on the table that we encountered. Since I have over 8 years of sales experience working my 9-5 job and had learned how real estate transactions worked and are structured, why couldn't I just do the agent work myself?

Today I am thankful in saying that I am my own agent in any and all projects I take on. This includes my own investments, but also helping anyone looking to buy/sell a home. There are a lot of lousy agents out there that aren’t concerned with their clients' best interests. I would like to change that narrative and ensure people don’t have to go through some of the pitfalls that I encountered.

My latest investment venture is a house hack that I intend to use as my first long term rental. Between working as a real estate agent and my own investments (mix of rentals and flips), my overall goal is to make real estate my sole focus professionally within 2 years.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!
