New Member in Fairfax, VA

[Ben Bechtel]

Hi Bigger Pockets! I am proud to finally get around to introducing myself! I moved to Fairfax, VA about a year ago and over the course of the last 2 months I've been reading a TON about real estate investing. It has always been a passion of mine, but until recently I haven't done the necessary research. I'm hoping to make my first investment in the next year, but until then I'm just educating myself and networking. I went to a meetup in DC recently and it was a lot of fun. Does anybody have any recommendations on a good real estate agent or broker in the area that also invests? I'm also curious if anybody can provide any insight into the types of investments that the market is currently favoring. I've been reading the low and no money down book because I believe I'm going to need to get creative with my financing. Ben
