Intro - Central Virginia

[Autumn R.]

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. In college I worked in property management and found it to be challenging but exciting work. I now work full time as a program director for a human services organization that provides crisis response to the Central Virginia region. My goal is to learn as much as I can from this site, network in my area with buyers and other investors and to begin wholesaling part-time.

My long-term plan is use revenue from wholesaling to invest in rental properties.

I do not think Central VA has an REIA branch (nearest is the Tidewater or NOVA groups which are really different demographics than Central VA), but I have joined the Meetup for RE investors and plan to participate as next dates are scheduled. I have also ordered some blank bandit signs and gotten a google voice account set up for use as my contact #. Lastly, I have located a vacant properties listing from 2013 for this area and am working through the listing to determine which are still vacant, last sold more than 10 years ago and those that are in desirable areas for renting.

I'm also reading through the beginner's guide to real estate investment which has already been very informative.

I'm looking forward to meeting others from Central VA and learning from all of the pros on this board as well as from my own experiences.

Thanks Mehran! I am doing a lot of research and reading right now on all things real estate so I will hopefully be a valued wholesaler in the market here until I am ready to try my hand and buy and holds.

Also, who knew my property management experience would come in so handy when I fell into the job in college!?!? Funny how life works out sometimes.
