New to BP from Wilmington, NC

[Isabel Beteta]

Hello everyone! My name is Isabel, and I currently live in Wilmington, NC. I am a recent graduate from UNCW in Exercise Science with plans to continue to graduate school to secure a career that is a bit more recession-proof than real estate, just in case another 2020 level disaster should strike again. Currently, I have no real experience in real estate, but I have family members and influences in my life who invested in real estate and inspired me to pursue real estate investing to build long-term wealth and achieve financial independence. I have been working through the Bigger Pockets podcasts and prepping my finances over the last year to buy my first property in 2021. The long term goal is to acquire enough rental properties to work part-time by 35 and retire by 45. The short-term goal is to house-hack with a duplex or single-family home in the greater Wilmington area, since real estate is out of budget for me in Wilmington. The most appealing approach for me is the BRRR method, although I am open to other opportunities as they present themselves. So we'll see how it goes!

Thanks for checking this out! I value any input or opportunities that may arise from this community, and I look forward to building experience and connections in real estate investing with Bigger Pockets!
