Introduction to Bigger Pockets

[Ashleigh Rabideau]

Hello BP family, my name is Ashleigh. I have decided to dive into real estate investing so that I may have more time with loved ones. Currently, my work consists of traveling overseas for months at a time. Which puts a damper on quality family time.

It’s a great feeling to have found real estate investing. The positive environment that exists in this community is refreshing.  The fact that so many people are working together to help each other invigorates me to work hard so I can share my experiences.  

Initially, the plan is to start with the wholesale of single family homes. Once income is flowing then I will get into “flipping” and brrrr.
