Hello, Bigger Pockets community!

I'm Jansen, relatively new to real estate and currently living in Santa Fe, NM. By day, I work in the government sector at Los Alamos National Laboratory, but I’m passionate about building my real estate portfolio. I’m on my second property, which is my current home. My first venture was a fix-and-flip turned rental in Angel Fire, NM.

I'm eager to dive deeper into real estate investing and am especially interested in adding more investment properties in the Santa Fe area. A friend introduced me to Bigger Pockets, and I'm grateful for the resource. I'm really excited about the BRRRR strategy, and my goal is to focus on mid- to long-term rentals as I grow. Looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing experiences with all of you!

What's up Jansen! 

Welcome to the Bigger Pockets community! There is a lot to learn, and to be frank, the knowledge you're seeking will be 40% of the industry. The other 60% is actually finding, closing, and managing the deals.

The BRRRR strategy is insanely good. If done right, you can pull out the money that you've initially invested. Of course, there's some risk to it, as with any other investment. Be sure to look up proper contractors in your journey. The Rehab portion of the strategy is where the most "learning" happens :)

Cheers and best of luck!

    Hey Jansen! It sounds like you're off to a great start with your first fix and flip, and Santa Fe is an exciting market for real estate. The BRRRR strategy is an excellent way to scale quickly, especially with mid- to long-term rentals.
