Thanks @Ned Carey.

Yeah I’ve no problem driving am hour or two to an area that’s more suitable. Maryland is most likely my first target given there are several places within commuting distance of both DC and Baltimore and more in my price bracket starting off.

Thanks @Bryant Naylor. Sounds like you’ll have a good base of funds to get started next year. Best of luck! I’m trying my best to get my finances in order at the moment. I’m a little behind on my plans but going in the right direction at least.

Thanks @Hunter L.

Best of luck @John Oh! I’m new to the game and planning to kick off my investing career in the new year. I’ll be following your story to see how you’re getting on. 

Hello BP Community! I'm Simon and I'm originally from Dublin, Ireland but living in Northern Virginia (NOVA) just outside of Washington D.C for the last couple of years. My interest in real estate investing really only came on when I came to the US and saw how many opportunities there are here compared to back home. I've spent most of 2019 educating myself, reading books & blogs, listening to podcasts (a lot Brandon and David G.) and annoying my girlfriend with every new piece of information/skill I learn through this process....My plan is to get active in 2020, with the goal of getting at least one property under contract. Primarily looking at BRRRR as a strategy on SF or small MF if possible. Out of state is probably a likely option given the cost of housing near me, but I'll be looking locally initially.

I'm looking forward to connecting with this community and getting to know some of the great people on here!

Cheers

Simon
