Welcome. Take your time and don't be in a rush to "scale." Fewer but better properties.

    Hello Bigger Pockets community, looking forward to connecting with like minded focused investors to learn from and grow my portfolio. 


    Hey Melisa, welcome! Since you’re just getting started as an investor, a lot of people are pivoting to Midwest markets. The Midwest has a lot of undervalued duplexes and small multis that make scaling your portfolio easier, even from out-of-state. Connecting with investors, property managers, and local contractors can really speed up your learning curve and results.
