February Guest Jeremy MacConnell

Jeremy MacConnell has been attracted to real estate since before he graduated from high school. He started in Real Estate by flipping homes at 18 years of age after reading the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. Then became a Real Estate Broker with a mission to help others learn to invest as well. He has extracted experience and knowledge from some of the top investors in our real estate market. Providing him opportunity and experience in strategies like flipping, buying and holding, wholesaling, sourcing off market deals, and buying and selling with retail clients. He currently is growing a rental portfolio building cash flow properties in a few different markets including WA, OH and Las Vegas.

Jeremy will cover:

- My introduction to Real Estate investing prior to the market crash and current investing strategy.
- Finding my niche in Real Estate, examples of some of the properties I have flipped and my rentals. Also, I will go over some of the tools I have used in the process.
- Discussing my current niche in Real Estate providing examples to follow the theme of the topic. Including my wholesaling business, buying rentals and some tools that have helped me.
- The importance of finding your "WHY" for Real Estate investing. Covering how mindset, habits and taking action were the keys to finding my niche and allowed me to weather the storm of Real Estate investing.
- Opening up for any questions.

My mind your mindset will be: Look backwards to plan forward
My teaching tip will be: What can bestplaces.net do for you?

If you own rental property, or plan to be a landlord, you don’t want to miss this meeting!

Chrysztyna’s property management career literally started at the bottom, as she owned the cleaning company that was in charge of all the Lighthouse Cove cleaning for 5 years. She gradually began doing inspections, and eventually came into the office, first as a receptionist, then as a licensed real estate agent and property manager, and then bought the company in July 2007. In July of 2009 she also bought the property management division of Strategy Real Estate, Inc.

She is a proud member of NARPM, the National Association of Residential Property Managers, having served as Kitsap County Chapter President in 2010 and again in 2014. In 2010, she received her RMP NARPM designation and her MPM designation in 2013. In 2014, she held the National Professional Development Committee Chair position for NARPM.

She is a member of both the Silverdale and Bremerton Chambers of Commerce and has been president of her BNI Chapter several times. She was awarded the Key to the City of Bremerton by Mayor Patty Lent in 2012, and is a member of the Real Estate Association of Puget Sound.
She travels all over the country as a sought-after professional speaker and educator, where she shares her property management journey with other property managers. She is also a Certified Real Estate Instructor for the State of Washington.

Mom to an amazing talented mini me who is off to college, she is also fluent in several languages and has lived in three different countries.
