Hello all!

I have been listening the BP podcast for months now and finally decided to create a BP account. I have recently moved to Norfolk, VA for work - I am an accountant at a local CPA firm. I was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, but went to college in West Virginia.

I hope to purchase my first rental property (SFH or small multifamily) in early 2017 when I become a little more familiar with the area. Based on my research, I will most likely be looking for value-add opportunities in Norfolk or Portsmouth. I also hope to purchase my primary residence using a 203k loan in the summer of 2017.

I have little real estate experience (other than research and countless hours watching HGTV), but I have a strong economics and accounting background.  I am eager to learn the industry - and more importantly the local market - so please reach out to me if I can help you in any way!
