Good morning!

My name is Rollan from San Jose, CA and excited to have access to the wealth of information and contacts on this website. Though I have 3 homes myself, none of them were meant to be "investments", but after listening to Matt Thierault from Epic Real Estate Podcasts, it's now the right time to convert this real estate into streams of income. I am in the midst of converting my former primary SFR in Tracy, CA into a rental; my highrise condominium in Global City, Philippines (bought in 2008 for 50K is now worth 150K) is actually already cash flowing net about 500/month since using Airbnb last year.

Matt's adage of "live where you want and invest where it makes sense" struck a cord with me.  In hindsight, I didn't invest in a lot of real estate because everything in CA is so expensive. With the help of Matt's team, I am now in contract to buy 2 properties in Birmingham, AL, and in the hunt for a 3rd (preferrable a duplex or fourplex to diversify my holdings). I will be primarily a buy and hold investor very interested in turnkey rentals as I am very busy but enjoy my job as a Private Wealth Manager.

I look forward to connecting with many of you here. If you are in the SF/San Jose Bay Area, do let me know if you have occasional "meet ups" as I would like to joint like minded investors.

CHARGE!!!!
