New to real estate - Introduction

Posted

Hey all! I'm new to both Bigger Pockets and real estate as a whole. Looking to buy my first property in about a year but eager to learn and prepare in the meantime. I am in the Navy and living in Virginia.

Welcome to BP! Are you looking to buy in your market or out of state? Turnkey or BRRRR/flips?

    Hi @Colin McGurk,

    Welcome to BiggerPockets! You’re in the right place to find the research and resources to figure out the best investment strategy for you.

    When it comes to investing, the best approach often depends on how much time you can dedicate. BRRRR and flips typically require more hands-on involvement but can offer significant returns, while turnkey properties are more passive and can provide steady, reliable returns over time.

    Glad to connect & be of any help as you get started. 

    Good luck investing!
