Newbie from Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia

[Drew B.]

Hi. My name is Drew and I live in Jefferson County, West Virginia.

My goal for the past 5 years has been to generate passive income using a buy and hold strategy. While located near Martinsburg, my primary geographic focus has been in nearby Washington County (Hagerstown/Williamsport), Frederick County and Montgomery County, Maryland.

At one point I was primarily interested in townhouses. Recently my preference has shifted toward small multi-unit residential and commercial properties with a residential component. Ultimately I have an interest growing a portfolio and possibly dabbling in other types of properties and strategies (flipping, development, etc.).

My primary strength is my analytic ability, whereas my primary weakness has been using a conservative approach.

I am excited to continue learning and potentially working with BP community members.

Hi, Drew. I just joined today, too. I have similar profile - own a rental townhome property and looking to epand to multi-until residential and commercial. I live in northern, VA. I joined here looking to learn and find opportunities. My career keeps me busy, but looking to build a real estate portfolio to transition from my career as I plan for retirement.
