Rudy Manna

In my day job I work in the Technology sector as a Product Manager. I work with software engineers, designers, data scientists and deliver software products. Worked for some of the large brands in the area - Amazon, Disney and Expedia. Real estate was always kind of hidden passion in me. I started my real estate journey in 2013 as a new home buyer in Seattle. After viewing 100 houses, getting out-bidden 10 times, and backing out twice after being accepted (just plain nervous) , me and my wife bought our first home just before Christmas. Between 2013- 2016 we bought 5 more properties, though I was never too serious about real estate. Then in early 2016 I got introduced to Biggerpockets and started realizing the tremendous potential in real estate. Now I am working hard to scale it up and build a long term portfolio. My long term goal in life is to build my private equity portfolio consisting of Real estate, traditional businesses and Tech startups. I launched a startup (marketplace for weddings in India, ShaadiSimplified.com) last year and working on the second one. I am a true believer in the 10X rule, and never shy away from taking calculated risk. Look forward to collaborate with all the fantastic people here and make it big in real estate and life.
