Greetings from Northern Virginia

[Barri F.]

Hello, Bigger Pockets people! After lurking for a few months, I figured it's time to do the official introduction. I'm looking toward retiring from my 9 to 5 job in about 10 years, and want to supplement my 401(k)/IRA and Social Security (if it's still around) income. Buy-and-hold looks like a great way to produce some extra cash flow, so I'm looking to buy rental properties here in NoVa and/or NC. My goal is to buy at least one property this year, then 2 or 3 more each year.

I look forwarding to connecting with others here on the site, and in person if there are local meet-ups in and around Fairfax County.  Any advice or suggestions are more than welcome!
