New to bigger pockets but not the real estate game

Mesa, AZ · Member since 2014 · 6 posts · 2 votes

Hi I'm Steven Follmer and I have been in real estate for the last 20 years i have a background in building and development as well as investing in distressed properties. I currently invest in Fire Damage properties, and other distressed related real estate. 

I have enjoyed my short time here on bigger pockets and am excited to be a part of the  community that is forming. I have worked fix and flips and development deals in  Michigan, Florida, and am Currently in the Phoenix area. I also just happened to run into a 95 deal portfolio but that is for a different post if anyone is interested. I also am on Bigger pockets so i can meet Multi-Family buyers, Commercial buyers and anyone who is willing to dive into Fire damage homes as well. If anyone needs more info on fire damage homes please contact me... 

I Enjoy golfing, cooking, and Fine Wines. I love talking about new deals over lunch and dinner as well as a round of golf. I look forward to making great relationships on Bigger Pockets.

    Steve,

    I've considered this niche as well. I'm in the San Diego (North County) area too and think we could work together. I know there is a burned home notification system here in the area because I heard of it years ago before I was an investor. I just haven't found how to tap into it. Maybe you can help.

    Anyway, welcome to BP Steve and stay in touch.

    Steve,

    Welcome to BP, network as much as possible and set up your keyword alert. Fire damage houses would love to hear about that.
