Hey everyone!
My name is Brooke and I joined BP to connect with some investors as well as learn more about the market from different points of view. My company specializes in residential and apartment complex construction/remodel, so it is very interesting to me to learn more about the whole process as opposed to just the contracting side. We work in Washington state, Oregon, California and Arizona. Hope to connect with some of you!

Welcome @Brooke Webster I joined a couple months ago for some of the same reasons. The community here has been very helpful and the info invaluable. I'm sure you'll find joining one of the best things you could have done as you educate yourself about the investor side of things.

@Brooke Webster Hey! Welcome to BP! I would love to learn about what you do. Do you invest by buying the properties or are you just on the contracting side. I plan on investing in Oregon in the future maybe we can work together.
