So awesome to connect with such a network!

I am very eager to learn from everyone's experiences and expertise.

My name is Dameka Mack currently based in Washington, D.C. I am new to the real estate industry but know exactly what my interest are: development, capitalizing on short term rentals and wholesaling. I serve as Real Estate Consultant at Walter & Wells Real Estate Group - an acquisitions and development firm that specializes in single and multi family projects in the Maryland and Pennsylvania regions.

With my short time spent in the industry, I learn everyday that there is more information that I need to know. The biggest takeaways from this platform, that I'm most looking forward to, are: further connecting with and learning from every level of professional (beginner to veteran) that Bigger Pockets has to offer. 


Let’s connect!

    Hi Welcome to Bigger Pockets and Real Estate!! From reading your post, you have already made the 1st big step and that is identifying the areas you want to be in within Real Estate. A lot of times investors get lost in different strategies rather than just concentrating on one. I am also an investor based out of Northern Virginia and concentrate on buying out of state turnkey properties in Cleveland, OH. Let me know if you want to connect and chat about that if it interests you. 

     Hi @Aj Parikh Thanks for welcoming me! Yes my focus is in the DMV for now. Then I can venture out in 2023. Definitely would like to stay connected.

    Hello,

    I'm in the Leesburg area and new to real estate as well.  My interest include short term rentals and wholesaling.  For short term rentals, do you find it hard to be able to do that?  Do you contact landlords and ask if you can do that or do you buy a place and rent it out?
