New Real Estate Investor Here!

[Marie Paul]

Hello Bigger Pockets!

My name is Marie and I'm currently making my way out of nursing. My son just joined the Navy and now that I’m an empty nester I want to make a shift and bet on myself! I’m eager to connect with individuals who are experienced in real estate investing so I can grow and develop on this new path. I’ve been educating myself and would like more knowledge and a deeper understanding of the real estate world. The strategies I’m currently focused on are wholesaling, flipping and rentals. However, I’m open to all strategies. I live in North Carolina by way of New Jersey. I'm interested in opportunities in and out of state. 

I’m looking forward to learning and building relationships within this space and beyond.

I’m so excited to start this new journey!

Thank you for reading!

Hey Marie,

Congrats on taking this exciting step in your journey, and welcome to BP! I’ve been investing in Columbus, Ohio, for the past year and currently have 4 doors. If I could offer one key piece of advice, it would be to focus on building your CORE 4: a great realtor, contractor, attorney, and property manager. This team will be instrumental in your success.

I’d also recommend starting with long-term rentals. They’re a great way to learn the entire process of property investment, from acquisition to management, and provide a solid foundation for scaling your portfolio down the line.

Best of luck on your journey—happy to share any insights or experiences along the way!
