New here from Annapolis & Virginia Beach

So happy I found this forum. My husband and I have been dabbling in real estate for over 10 years now, always liked it but never too serious mainly due to traveling issues for my husband's job, but thinking of getting into it more seriously now that we're finally settling down back on the east coast permanently, although still in transition for another year or so.

Have been very frustrated by financing conditions and hard to find answers (I'm kind of a research fanatic) to real life questions, stumbled upon this forum 2 days ago and have been learning a lot, especially about financing options I wasn't even aware of before. We've only ever kept about 5 properties at a time, so we're small investors, but I think the answers here will give us the momentum to finally push for the 20 we wanted to have before retirement.

Thanks to all here for the knowledge and insight, and especially to the forum moderators as it's very nice to read post after post of useful and smart answers & information instead of fighting and posturing as on most other forums I don't belong to anymore.
