[Marjorie Florestal]

Hi all, I'm Marjorie and I've just joined the BP community. I am a former academic starting a new life as a real estate investor (and writer, and lawyer, and ...)

In the next few months, I plan to purchase my first real estate investment property, which will be a buy-and-hold single family home. I've purchased homes in the past, but never for investment. This time around, I'm really working on being disciplined about the numbers and buying a house because it makes good financial sense -- rather than because I fell in love with the house or the neighborhood,

I'm looking forward to being an active part of this community. It seems to be a welcoming place full of interesting people and useful information (I've been here a couple of hours already!)
