Motivated first time investor- looking to build network

[Cesar Villeda]

Hey Folks,

2023 is the year we finally want to buy our 1st door (possibly 2). I've read and read and honestly at some point we just have to go out and do it. I work in tech sales so I understand analysis paralysis very well.

Although we are new to investing, we aren't new to buying... We've bought twice and sold once (which I regret). Unfortunately, we live in NOVA so our area is out of the question (I think) for our first investment. We're thinking of something around $100-$200k. Based on my research, areas we'd be interested in are Dayton, Cincy, Detroit, High Point (have family there), Durham, etc. I lived in TX for 20ish years so wouldn't be oppose to that area either.

Current Financials: $100k cash, $250k equity in our some so can HELOC, ~800 credit score

I'd welcome any insights from investors and/or agents.

Thanks.
