Aspiring Real Estate Investor Ready to Dive In – Advice Welcome!

[Brett Siegel]

I’m Brett, a 29-year-old general dentist based in Loudon county. After years of focusing on my career and building financial stability, I’m ready to dive into real estate investing and start creating passive income and long-term wealth.

My short-term goal is to purchase my first duplex or single family rental. 

Over the next 5–10 years, I plan to scale to a portfolio of rental properties and eventually diversify into syndications.

I'm particularly interested in the Lynchburg, VA market and other areas with strong rental demand.

What I Bring to the Table:

I’ve been saving aggressively, and I’m exploring physician loans to help get started with minimal upfront costs.

I’ve done a lot of reading (shoutout to BiggerPockets books!) and am eager to connect with experienced investors to gain practical insights.

What I’m Looking For:

Advice on identifying cash-flowing properties and understanding market trends in Lynchburg or similar areas.

Recommendations for a local real estate agent or property manager with experience working with investors.

Insights on how to balance active and passive investing as I grow my portfolio.

I’m grateful to be part of such an inspiring and knowledgeable community. I’m excited to connect, learn, and eventually contribute as I gain experience.

Feel free to drop your wisdom or recommendations—I’m all ears!

Thanks,

Brett
