Hi everyone!

My name is Meghan, I currently live in Hampton, VA. Prior Navy and husband is active duty. We have 1 rental. We have been thinking about moving and making our current home a second rental vs selling it. Listening to one of the older episodes, there was a tip that said your current home is your next rental.... perfect sense. In the process of trying to see if we can do that. Then my plan is to take the equity out of our current rental that we have had since 2012 and buy a vacation rental before next summer.

I am from NC, but was stationed in VA and thats where i met my husband. We lived in SC for a little but are now stationed in Hampton Roads, and plan to be here until he retires. Goals are to get a rental a year until he retires. We do SFH right now, but I want to expand to multi families. Would love to learn other avenues of investing, espec flipping and wholesaling.


If any investors local wouldnt mind me shadowing and tagging along to everything, I am eager to grunt work! I have great organization, can clean, yardwork your vacant properties, write yellow letters, stuff envelopes, post ads, whatever you need.

Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction!!
