Hey Everyone,
I realized that I never did a formal introduction post to BP but have done some forum posts and wanted to give a quick thanks to all of those before me posting great content and encouraging me to really start using BP.
A little bit about me - I am a licensed real estate broker in California, currently based out of San Mateo. I grew up in the area and am very familiar with the Peninsula, as well as SF, Berkeley/Oakland, and the South Bay. For undergrad I went to UC Berkeley and then did my Master's at the University of Cambridge in England (cheers mates).
I am here to help. I actively invest and have a strong understanding of cap rates, debt-service ratios, etc. and am glad to hop on a call or grab a beer with anyone in the area that wants to catch up.
For those that need any support from a broker, just let me know and I can put together anything you need. I have a pretty strong understanding of a lot of the creative methods that have been used and discussed on BP and am always looking for new ways to help my clients.

@ryan
@Ryan Landisgreat, glad you officially introduced yourself! Are you a residential or commercial broker? Your profile signature indicates residential but you are talking about cap rates, DSCR, etc.

Hey @Joe Fairless thanks! I focus on residential but have a background in commercial so am very familiar with both. I have worked in Fortune 500 real estate and facilities teams so I understand many of the needs of owner-users/leases. I also did a little bit of time in banking/PE. I just was trying to let people know that I have a pretty good understanding of where investors are coming from.
