New Investors and happy to be here

Michelle Gorham
Posted

Hi Everyone!

My name is Michelle Gorham, and my husband Daren and I are new to RE Investing.  We have turned our personal home into a rental property in Vancouver, WA, and in November, we purchased our first RE Investing deal in La Grande, OR.  This is where my husband grew up, and we have decided to move back since we are empty nesters now.  

The main purpose of getting into investing is to pay off existing debt and to supplement our retirement with passive income from rental properties.

We are excited to be here!

@Michelle Gorham congratulations! The first step in REI is always the hardest. I have been partnering with my dad on several investment deals now to help with passive income and retirement as well. Do you know where your husband and you are planning on investing next?

 @Nate Meeker Thank you! I think I will be looking at Murfreesboro, TN for my next deal. Looking for a rental property, one that I can use the BRRR method on.

 @Michelle Gorham Murfreesboro is a great rental market! There is strong growth with the proximity to Nashville but a little easier to make the numbers work. I see you are in the Pacific Northwest - what made you choose M'boro? I am local lender in the area and also own a few LTR's in the Boro. If you'd like a connection to an investor friendly agent in the area, please feel free to pm me. I have used him on several transactions and he's great and is also very involved in the local meetups in the area if you are looking off-market.
