Planning on buying my first property this year!

[Reese Chappuis]

Hey all- My name is Reese and I've just started learning about real estate investing in the past month or so. I'm based out of New Hampshire and looking to keep my first deal or first few local, just as I get experience in everything. I don't know anyone who is involved in this market, so would love to talk with anyone who is based in the area or has experience here!

My real goal is to have 2 properties by the end of the year, but obviously have to focus on getting the first one first. Still nailing down a clear buy box, and most likely looking to BRRR. I've got a LONG reading list, currently working on Set for Life and BP's How to Invest in Real Estate.

Outside of real estate, I'm a tree worker by day, and weightlift and ski for fun (although I've yet to get to the mountains this season :( )

Hello @Reese Chappuis, and welcome to bigger pockets!

Real Estate investing is a hyper-local skill. Things will vary pretty widely from one end of NH to the other. However, NH is a decent locale for REI, as it has relatively friendly landlord laws.

I invest in the Lakes Region of NH, and would be happy to help if you have any specific questions. I'd also recommend the "Lumberjack Landlord" on YoutTube, who is a Real Estate Investor on the Seacoast of NH. His videos have some great information (much of it relevant to NH). Every Sunday he has a live stream where he answers any and all questions.

Good luck on your journey!
