New Investor in San Jose and Northern California

Hello BP members,

My name is Pierre and I am currently living in San Jose. I have been exposed to the RE business all my life by uncles and family members doing multi-family business in Montreal with great success. Nevertheless, I decided to go in computer science in college (go figure?) which brought me to California in 2008 to start a new fully automated printing facility in Fremont.

Last January, I decided that it was time for me to be independent and start my own RE business! I created my LLC, gave my notice, bought several books; listen to audio books, call my uncles, created my own market analytic software and started to make offers at the beginning of March!

I do 1 or 2 offer per day and drive my RE agent crazy! (she is great) I am now against the wall with only one direction to go, forward! I am very motivated, eager to learn with a huge sense of urgency for success.

My strategy starts with rehab to increase my capital and finance multi-units and long term investment.

I seek a partner that has capital but not necessary time to seek deals and manage the rehabs. See you in a RE club near you soon!

I wish you all success,

Pierre
