Newbie in Hampton, VA
Hi BP,
I am Roxie from Boston, MA but recently relocated to Hampton Roads, VA. This is a whole new experience for me. I mean really new. I am learning from the ground up, including real estate terminology. I find myself highlighting words and right clicking to search the meaning. It's been a bit overwhelming trying to learn everything, but it will become second nature. My goal is to get my first rental in a year from now. I'm not sure if that is to long but like I mentioned I am so new to this, I am probably way off with the time frame. My biggest hurdle or excuse that I have used is not having any money to start. But I am learning each day from BiggerPockets that that does not have stop me from pursuing my dreams and goals! I'm excited and ready to begin this new journey!

Welcome. Read a couple of the BP books, attend the weekly webinars, and listen to the podcasts. Stick to your numbers and you'll be happy. I'm cash flowing a triplex with 2/3 units rented and @Patti Robertson is managing. She's an expert in the Hampton Roads area and will not lead you down the wrong path.
