I'm new here!

Hi! My husband & I are new to real estate investing but not new to the world of real estate. I am a former interior designer and did a great deal of work staging homes for sale. My husband has worked for one of the largest national home builders for 23 years. We've lived in over 10 homes while raising our 3 children that we improved and sold. We are now looking to get serious about funding our retirement. We are interested in investing in coastal North & South Carolina.

    Hi Jenna. Welcome to BB. I am relatively new here as well. I also have been in the Wilmington area for a short time. Love to connect to see if I can be of any help.

    Hi Heath! I would love to meet up. My husband and I are excited to get started on our investing journey! We move into our house tomorrow in the Porter's Neck area. I see that you are in Hampstead. We're neighbors! Let's keep in touch and get together in the new year. Looking forward to meeting you!
