Checking in from Northern Virginia. Looking for connections!

[Dino Garcia II]

Hi everyone, my name is Dino! I live in the Northern Virginia (NoVA) area and I am looking to expand my opportunities and knowledge not only here, but the rest of the country. I had been lurking in the forums and decided I wanted to try and be more active in REI. Honestly, I have not posted in forums in years, so this is a big step back for me to get back in an online social space.

I am in my early 30's and wish I have been in RE way earlier. Nonetheless, I have been binging RE Rookie, the BiggerPockets podcast, and some other BiggerPockets-published books (reading Wealth Without Cash right now). Right now, I am hoping to get connected with anyone working with Creative Financing and would love to do deals with other folks here.

Currently, I am househacking in Northern Virginia with my first home. I am renting out multiple rooms and manage them all myself. I am looking for more deals in the area and hope to find another property before the end of the year. My initial goal is to get 1 property a year, and I hope to exceed that! For now, I am starting small and getting experience in the real estate space, and although my schedule is quite busy, I have been trying to join meetups when I can.

I'm looking forward to meeting anyone else in my area and beyond. Thanks for reading my post, hope to hear from other members soon!
