Hello from Eastern North Carolina

[Justin Hinckley]

Hey folks! Been listening to the various BP podcasts for about a year now. Finally getting to the point where I'm ready to expand my real estate portfolio. My wife and I operate one Airbnb out of our primary residence right now and are working on securing funding to build an ADU on that same property to open a second Airbnb. We're having some difficulty on the funds front at the moment, so I've been making phone calls like crazy lately! Considering posting about it in the forums later to see what creative ideas people have.

Anyway, we live in Wilmington, NC and are considering investing in York, PA in the next year or so, near where my parents live.

With joining BP my main goal right now is to get to the point where long-term rentals provide enough passive income to cover our living expenses. I think we can do it in 5 years. We want to do this to supplement Airbnb income, as Airbnb is great, highly profitable, but irregular.

A fun fact about me is that I love trying new things and thus have minor experience doing many different things! I am a terrible surfer, mediocre rock climber, terrified mountain biker, barely able to converse Arabic-speaker, and many others. I'm also a certified EMT and SCUBA diver!
