Newbie investor introduction

[Parker Chrisman]

Hello Bigger Pockets community,

I'm a newbie RE investor in the Richmond, VA area. Looking to also invest in the Southwest Virginia market(Radford, Christiansburg and Blacksburg) as that is where I'm from and have lots of knowledge as well as contacts. Open to all investing strategies but will mainly focus on buy and hold and specifically BRRRR. In the process of analyzing deals right now to set up some showings this weekend and hopefully start making some offers. Been listening to the BP podcasts and audiobooks for the last 2 years trying to soak up as much knowledge as I can and now feel good enough to jump in with both feet! Would love to meet up and connect with anyone in the Richmond area or the Southwest Virginia market.

Hey @Parker Chrisman! I'm also new to investing in the Richmond area, looking to acquire my first single family rental in the Nov/Dec time frame. I definitely recommend checking out meetups in the area on meetup.com. Also if ever interested, me and a few other new investors have gotten together to basically talk real estate and work through some of the newbie questions we have. I'm currently out of state but when I get back if we meet up, I can let you know
