New Investor from the DC Metro Area!

[Marc M.]

I'm super excited to have stumbled across this site and all the great information and advice it offers. I'm a full-time property manager looking to jump into real estate investing. I have experience managing a range of properties, from a $35 million commercial portfolio to, currently, 11 condominium associations, with a focus on physical management (I also have a background in home improvement so I can speak intelligently about home and building systems and repair). I didn't realize it when I got into the business but I've gained some very valuable experience, which correlates perfectly with real estate investing.

I'm looking forward to learning lots from this site and hopefully meeting some of you in person.
