New Investor out of Hampton, Virginia

[Nodirbek Akhmedov]

Hi everyone! My name is Bek and I am looking to acquire my first flip by the end of 2018. I am originally from Maryland, but I live in Hampton/Yorktown Virginia area thanks to the Air Force. I started listening to BP podcasts on my last deployment because one can only watch so many bootleg movies. From there on, I started reading as many real estate/business books/BP posts as I could get my hands on. My experience with investing dwells down to managing a family portfolio during the last 5 years of this bull market. We are now looking to diversify and begin our real estate adventure. Look forward to meeting and interacting with fellow BP members!

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
