Thank you, Sir!

Greetings @Dan Romnek 

It seems like Milwaukee is well represented on BP!

Hi Everyone,

I'm James, and I've been on BP since 2011. I've been in the background searching this site and absorbing information and strategies. I've also reached out to some very helpful individual members on this site that are now my "virtual colleagues"... 

But, after completing my graduate degree this spring, I've recently returned to RE investing, and in a BIG way! I have experience, and I have SFR rental income, and I've been partnering on some exciting cash-flow partnerships; so let's make it official :)

In other words: Nice to meet you, I'm happy to be here!

This is my whole focus right now: to develop multiple streams of income, the more passive the better, from RE. Although, I'm very risk-adverse, I've found some promising JV deals. It requires out-of-the-box thinking, and working with people that you trust.

We live in a great time of opportunity for those willing to seek out information and act on it!

@Jason Jones @Rachel H. @Leon Y. @Stan Hill 

Great question, Jason. Like Rachel writes, sometimes a strategy will change based upon one's experiences. For example, I've transitioned from buy and hold to JV rehabs that my money is in and out of in about 4- 5 months, and then off to another....

This is a great site to bounce those strategies of of others, though!

Curious what were your take-aways from the hedge fund meeting, Gerald? 

Christopher and/or Joe, how do you vet a hedge fund? 

Thanks!

@J. Martin WOW, I admire your dedication to attend this meetup! It looks like you'll be utilizing planes, trains, and automobiles....
