Hey all! Aspiring investor from Richmond, VA. I have been listening to BP for a few months, and just now beginning to read/engage on the forums. I currently reside with my family in our primary residence, and have been consuming podcasts and books, with the goal of buying our first investment property by the end of the year, if not sooner. Likely leaning on funding deals with a HELOC on our primary, and I'm still mulling the best strategy to use HELOC funds - leaning towards BRRRR or buy and flip, to keep the funds freed up.
Excited to engage with you all, learn, and contribute once I've got some experiences to share!

I live in the Northside too. I try to stick to 2 and 3 bedroom single story homes in the 23222, 23223 and 23224 zip codes.
