Real Estate Broker/Owner with Mad Backyard

Greetings! 

My name is Robert Martigan but everyone calls me "Mads". 

I am a semi-early retired real estate investor new to the Active Rain community, and just wanted to write my first post to introduce myself!

My passions include fixing up and renting out or flipping mid-century single family properties as well as now mentoring new investors how to evaluate and purchase investment properties for thier own portfolios.

I have been investing in the Birmingham, Alabama market specifically for a number of years now and always love connecting with other real estate investors and professionals serving that market.

Lastly, I am a HUGE outdoor living and design enthusiast and love blogging about outdoor kitchens, swimming pools, patio design, landscaping ideas, and even some of my favorite barbecue recipes on my blog Mad Backyard.

Hope to connect with some of you in the near future (as I figure out how to navigate the site and add to my profile).  Would love to talk about anything related to either investing in Alabma or even just outdoor kitchens or pellet grills!

Thanks!

Mads
