Newly minted MBA in Valparaiso, Indiana

[Stephen Backus]

Good evening all!

My family and I just moved to Valparaiso, Indiana in order to encourage my wife's career to flourish.  Thus, I am looking for alternative activities  to stay out of trouble.  Most of my MBA studies were focused on real estate and the management of assets.  If there is any thing that I can do to assist you in achieving your goals please let me know.  

The following are a few things that I am hoping to get from the community 

1) Communal support as I try to walk down the bumpy road towards a asset growth

2) Networking opportunities (who would have guessed its hard to find a new friend when you have to work your social schedule around family commitments and bed time)

3) An opportunity to make a deal

Thanks everybody!  I look forward to getting to know all of you.

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
