Hello from Josselyn!

[Josselyn Navas]

Hi everyone! My name is Josselyn and I'm 24 years old. I'm originally from Ecuador but recently moved to Charlotte from NYC. I was a former trader on Wall Street and now work at a property tech startup. I am interested in beginning my real estate journey by buying my first rental property in North Carolina in 2025. I am here to be a sponge and to connect with other experts in the rental property space. My family and I have been renters our entire lives, so I'm excited and grateful to be the first in my family to embark on the path of home ownership. Onward and upward!

Hi Josselyn,

Nice to e-meet you and welcome to BiggerPockets!

Your background in Wall Street trading and current work at a property tech startup give you a great foundation for this journey.

Starting with a rental property in North Carolina is a smart move. The market here has been pretty strong, especially in growing areas like Charlotte. Since you're aiming for 2025, you've got time to really learn the local market and save up for a solid down payment.

Feel free to reach out if you want to have a chat. Good luck!

Hey @Josselyn Navas, welcome to Charlotte! We obviously all believe in homeownership and real estate as a wealth building strategy, so I'm excited for you and maybe your family to start that journey!

Hey Josselyn!

Welcome! It's awesome that you're diving into real estate. How are you liking Charlotte so far? I recently made the move from there, so I'm familiar with the area.

Also, what strategies are you looking into? STRs, LTRS, BRRRRS, etc?

Hey Josselyn, that’s awesome—you’ve got a great story coming from Wall Street to the property tech scene. I’m from Ecuador too, so it’s cool to see someone with a similar background getting into real estate here in Charlotte. 

If you ever want to chat about the NC market or need tips on starting your rental journey, feel free to reach out. 

Would love to connect and help you make that first investment a success!
