Hello BP Community!

My name is Rae Edwards. I am from the Hampton Roads area of Virginia (Newport News, Hampton, Norfolk, etc). I am 24 years old, I recently graduated college where I earned my MBA while playing basketball. I am currently living in Morocco, Africa where I play professional basketball!

I am interested in real estate investing because passive income has always been appealing to me. I know that living my dream as a pro player will only last so long, but why not earn passively even while I'm abroad for a few months out of the year? I have been researching through Bigger Pockets (Youtube and Podcasts) and other sources for about a year now.

While here I am doing all the extensive research that I can. I will be back in the states this summer and my goal is to obtain a single family home or duplex. I'm finding that the hardest part is simply getting started!

I am looking forward to learning more through these forums.

:)
