Hi BP!

My name is Marc Egeland and I am brand new to real estate. I stumbled upon BP a couple of months ago soon after starting to research real estate investing online. Since then I have listened to 40+ hours of BP podcasts, read a couple books, attended a few REIA meet ups, and read who knows how many blog posts. I realize I have only just begun to scratch the surface and look forward to a lifetime of learning this exciting industry!

Though still a complete rookie, I am confident enough now to find my first deal and begin investing. I am primarily interested in multifamily rentals and BRRR investing for passive income, but am still exploring alternate cash flow opportunities. I am also interested in fix and flips, but I think that will come later with more experience.

I look forward to learning much more and networking with all of you here in the forums!

Best regards,

Marc

@Marc Egeland Welcome to BP and good luck your journey into real estate. Check out the Millennial Real Estate meetup Group that is held every month. I'm a newer investor myself, but if you ever want to discuss real estate feel free to PM me. I'll be at the next Millennial meetup and a couple other events in November if you want to meet in person.

Welcome Marc Egeland There are lots of great people in the twin cities and the REIA is pretty good too. If you don’t already own a place I think a house hack is a great place to get started. Let me know if you ever want to talk real estate!

MNREIA website. It's not like the MNREIA monthly meetings but it is affiliated with them.

Welcome @Marc Egeland, just about to do your first deal?! It's so exciting, once you hit your first deal they keep coming. Multifamily rentals sounds great.

Welcome @Marc Egeland! I'm in the southeast MN area, but I know of a few badass Realtors in the Twin Cities. I'll send you a PM in case you're interested.

What area are you looking to start investing in? I have targeted a few areas, myself, but would love to hear your thoughts.
