Getting started in PA and VA

[Dethrell Garcia]

"Hello BP World". As the description suggests, I currently live in Arlington VA and am new to real estate investing, but not necessary new to real estate since I've bought and sold some properties already. I grew up in Harrisburg PA and am currently working on a business plan to develop rentals there and with a minor focus on flipping. Currently I manage global operations teams in media measurement and analytics, which is my current day job and sometimes night and weekend jobs.

Real estate interests me as a hobby and as a potential alternative to investing in stocks, bounds, and cash. I've also recently discovered a passion for analyzing dynamics of the real estate market, and correlating city/county/state level demographics with those housing trends which I hope can help me make better decisions when deciding which neighborhoods to enter, and potential opportunities to develop. At some point in the distant future I hope to develop rentals and flips in the Northern Virginia area, and also establish a foundation helping low income families gain a footing in the real estate market.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you all.
