Newbie from VA/MD/DC Area

[Annette Yim]

Hi Everyone, 

My name is Annette Yim and I have a very limited knowledge/background in Real Estate investing. I recently moved out here from Austin, TX, wanting to be closer to my family. I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry as a consultant. I currently own a newly built (2022) townhome in South MD and am hoping to purchase my second home in the next few years, depending on the situation of the market. 

Not only do I want to purchase my second home but I am also hoping to begin building my Real Estate portfolio of properties within 100 miles of DC over the next several years. BiggerPockets has played an essential part in my Real Estate education and I am hoping to get some realistic help now. With the understanding that the Northern VA or MD area is the richest metro area in the country thus not many distressed properties are available to explore, I am thinking of looking into some other areas such as Prince William County and Montgomery County.

If possible, I'd love to meet investors, agents, wholesalers, and anyone else who would be gracious enough to pass on their real estate investment knowledge. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you!

Annette

 Well those areas also wont have much in terms of distressed properties. But Id leave the distressed properties for experts and instead focus on buying quality assets in quality locations.
