New Member in Front Royal, Virginia

[Seth Murray]

Hey Guys, I'm brand new to real estate investing and just found Bigger Pockets! I'm a licensed architect, located in Front Royal, VA, a small town about an hour west of Washington, D.C.

I've reached the point where I'm tired of trading my hours for dollars and have been looking for investment income strategies that can replace my regular W-2 job as quickly as possible and start building passive income and long-term wealth. I've decided real estate investing is the best option for me given its potential high returns and allowing a high level of control over my investments, as well as my architecture experience being a complementary skill. 

I'm focusing my interest on the BRRRR strategy, and am actively looking for my first property, building my core four, and continuing to educate myself. I'm looking to invest with low or no money down so want to learn more about finding and using private money and other creative financing options. (I've got to read Brandon Turner's book on that soon!)

Excited to be here and starting the journey! Looking forward to getting to know people on the forums and building new relationships!
