NEW TO BP , LOOKING FOR MENTORSHIP

Posted Jun 5 2022, 12:38

Hi!, 

My name is Gabriel , I am an international college student currently living in Takoma Park, MD. I am new in this real estate world and I am more than excited to start my journey, I want to make a career out of this. My short-term goal here is to start off my REI path the best way possible and find the right guidance and mentorship. My long-term goal (hopefully not too long) is to buy my first rental property and start my own Real Estate business.

I love sports, playing soccer, spending time with my family and friends, and now getting myself into this investing world.

If anybody is around this area or DC just let me know.

I am beyond excited and ready for whatever comes. Thank you all!

I do some lending and developing in different areas, but live in the DMV. Would be good to get out and meet people again. Happy to connect with either of you.

Hey Gabriel, 

I came to the country in an international exchange as well. The main obstacle you are going to have to overcome is that you can't purchase property with a student visa. However, I do know there are other types of visas you can purchase property with some examples are h1b or J1 or diplomatic visas. I bought my first property when I had a H1b visa and had clients that purchases with the other two. Feel free to reach out and I will try to give you more info. 

Un saludo!
