Hello BP community,
My name is Chris Allard. I'm originally from the Caribbean and moved to Houston, TX at the age of 10. After graduating college I moved my girlfriend (now fiancee) and I to sunny California almost 5 years ago in hopes of better opportunities. I'm currently the Business Development Manager of a National Healthcare Agency here in Fresno. My goal is to build a portfolio of rental properties that will allow me to pursue real estate full time to generate a million dollar realty company and beyond. I've taken several steps (one is joining BP) at doing so, and plan to purchase my first multifamily unit very soon. I found BP while educating myself from YouTube vids, audiobooks, and the podcast. I'm looking forward to my continue growth in real estate!

Thank you @Dash Siva webinars on YT and signed up for the upcoming one on Wednesday. I'm actually looking to purchase property outside of CA at this time, as I can get more value for my dollars in other markets. I've already established an agent, realty company, and partnership in the area I'm looking to invest. My partners are old rugby teammates from a men's team I joined after my collegiate rugby career. We agreed to owning an Inc. where they will match me dollar for dollar on properties we invest in together, I will own 75% of revenue/cost, and in return they will get the other 25% and manage all the props to grow their Property Management biz. Please share your thoughts on this partnership.
I'm pumped up for what has happened so far this week. Finalizing partnership with old teammates and putting our first property under contract in the coming days. I drive a lot for work, so hoping to get more of your books on audio.
