Hey everyone! My name is Patrick, and I started my real estate career a little over a year ago by getting into short-term rentals near my house in Dry Ridge, KY. I found the BP podcast a couple years back and have been steadily working my way into pursuing RE investing full time. Currently, my wife and I own one single family with a partner. I also just helped my parents purchase/rehab/and launch their first single family for short-term rental in the same area. Now that that project is up and running, I'm pumped to get started on the next leg of the journey! My typical approach is ready, fire, aim, but have been working on switching those last two pieces. I'm now focusing on research in order to accomplish a couple flips a year, while getting more involved in buy and hold multifamily. The next goal I'm working towards is $12,000/mo in passive rental income. I'm excited to connect with others who are doing similar projects to share experiences and learn from each other.
