New Member Intro - Richmond VA

[Elizabeth Lark]

Hi! I joined BP a few years ago; but, I haven't really done a great job of taking advantage of the forums and the content that is available here! I listen to all of the podcasts (Bigger Pockets, Real Estate Rookie, On the Market).  I've done some wholesaling, completed my first fix & flip last year and I'm presently doing some private money lending. I'm working on building my retirement account and some cash reserves so that I can start to build my portfolio. I'm plugged into most of the investor groups here in the Richmond market and I'm looking to expand my network here locally and outside of Richmond.

Welcome to the Forum and congratulations on the start of your journey.  Our daughter just graduated from Howard and lives in Alexandria so we will be helping her start on her investment journey this year.  Some things to consider while building on your retirement account- Make it a Self Directed IRA if possible.  I may reach out to you since I now have family close by.
