Midwest Member Here! New, Excited, Motivated

[Tiff Junge]

Hey Everyone! 

My name is Tiff Junge and I'm a new real estate investor and Realtor in the Des Moines, IA area. I currently house hack with my co-workers (pseudo medium-term rental style) and closed on my first value add rental property in April. My W2 job as a Project Manager requires a lot of time during the late spring, summer, and fall, so I hope to finish the renovations on this value add property this winter in order to get it on the MTR market this coming spring. 

If anyone has questions about the Des Moines real estate and rental market, don't hesitate to send me a DM. Other markets I'm currently researching are the Duluth, MN up to Grand Marais, MN area. I love it up there and would love to talk shop about anything and everything North Shore related. 

Happy Investing everyone!

Hi Tiff!! I'm an investor and realtor in the Des Moines area as well! Sounds like you are off to a great start with house hacking AND your first value add rental property. I am located in Indianola. My husband and I have a 5-plex rental here we bought 4 years ago, a handful of homes in Iowa we seller financed, have done a couple flips/renos, and also had a short-term rental cabin in the Georgia mountains. You could say we've done a little bit of everything! Haha. Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Happy investing!
