Excited to Get Started!

[Joscelyn Johnson]

Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Joscelyn , and I’m excited to join this amazing platform! I’ve been interested in real estate for a while now, and after hearing about all the incredible resources and support here, I knew I had to get involved.

A little about me:

• I’m currently based in Tucson, Arizona, and I’m looking to start investing in real estate and expand my knowledge in the field. At the moment, I’m focusing on investing in Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin( Madison and surrounding areas).

• My background is in healthcare, and I’m currently working in logistics in the Air Force.

• I'm particularly interested in the BRRR strategy, buy-and-hold, and house hacking.

Why I’m here:

I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share my journey along the way. I’m excited to be part of a community where I can grow and contribute.

What I hope to gain:

• Advice on deals, market trends, financing options, and creative financing/funding.

• Support as I purchase my first rental property.

• Networking opportunities with other investors.

Looking forward to connecting with all of you, learning from the community, and hopefully collaborating on future deals or projects!

Feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

Best,

Joscelyn

Welcome Welcome@Joscelyn Johnson!  

Highly suggest you check out this post that @Marcus Auerbach rencenty made about out-of-state investing. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1234351-out-...  I love Chicago, but you might have an easier start investing in AZ.  Are you able to househack a 2-4 unit property?

There are likely some in person real estate networking events in Tucson please go check them out and talk to as many people as possible...particularly make friends with the host.  Then from those events, ask to have 1:1 coffee or lunch with some of the top movers and shakers.  Here is a list of meetups from BP:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...

Also, find those same movers and shakers here on BP in your area.
