Connecting with an investor-friendly agent can be really helpful since they can assist in spotting flip opportunities you might not see on your own.

If I found a spot in real estate where my time and effort contributed, translated into wealth created, that would be amazing.

Hi Amy,Welcome to the BP forum, North Virginia is a popular spot and growing.  

Good luck locking in a solid spot!

If there are others out there in a similar spot or have been here before...let me know.

Any tools, partnerships, or strategies that have helped you spot opportunities faster?

That’s an awesome goal and mindset to have at 30—you’re in a perfect spot to start building long-term wealth through real estate.

You can get frustrated, say the wrong thing without time to think about it because you have to answer on the spot.  

🌆 That’s awesome that you’ve already got a real estate background and are now looking to pivot into full-time investing, that international perspective probably gives you a great edge on spotting opportunities others might miss. 

Destin, 30A, and Panama City Beach are all hot spots with strong drive-to traffic, high summer demand, and (depending on the property) some pretty solid cash-on-cash returns.
