Newbie from Central Maryland

[Nick W.]

Hello BP Community! I'm Nick, a brand new member to Bigger Pockets and to the world of Real Estate Investing. I've been reading Bigger Pockets articles and listening to the podcasts for a while now, and finally decided to make the jump and create an account. Both my wife and I are federal employees in the DC area, and have jointly made the decision to start investing in real estate as a means of gaining additional financial freedom and providing for our future family.

We're currently living in Central Maryland, but are originally from the Southern New Jersey area, just outside of Philadelphia. Neither of us have done any deals yet, though we are set to close on our first home in the next week!

While we'd eventually like to start purchasing cash flow properties like apartment buildings, in the short term we're looking into strategies to raise the capital that we could then put into future projects.

We're very excited to get involved and start connecting with all of you!
