New guy from Fredericksburg, VA

John Beck
Posted

Hello everyone,

I am John, from Fredericksburg, VA. My background in Real estate would consist of owning my home and 1 rental property, that I break even on, every month. By "break even" I really mean, that my mortgage for that property is covered by the rent, but anything extra, is out of my pocket. Ok, so I'm not really breaking even.

I got into this rental situation because we had an opportunity to purchase an immaculate foreclosure, and needed to cover the mortgage on our previous home.

I am hoping to start purchasing some buy and hold properties, that I can rent to start building some cash flow, to invest back into real estate and grow my portfolio, to ensure a comfortable retirement, and to teach my 3 daughter's how to create cash extra cash flow, for their adult lives.

I am currently a full time Cybersecurity engineer, and would really like to figure out how to make some of this happen by converting my employer held 401k into a Sole 401k, that I can invest in rental properties with.

Other than this rental (and a very similar situation 10 years ago), I am new to real estate investing.
