About myself
Where I’m based / where I invest I’m currently based in Charlotte, NC and relocating to Miami, FL at the end of April 2026. I plan to invest primarily in Miami and the greater South Florida area, starting with an owner-occupied property and expanding from there. Goals with BiggerPockets My immediate goal is to purchase my first house hack this year, ideally a duplex to quadplex or a single-family home with a legal or easily convertible ADU in the Miami area. I joined BiggerPockets to learn from experienced investors, build relationships locally, and better understand how people are sourcing off-market and below-retail opportunities in competitive markets like Miami. Longer term, I’m still refining my niche. Once I relocate and secure my initial duplex–quadplex, I’m interested in expanding into additional rental properties and potentially commercial warehouse investments, depending on what opportunities and partnerships make sense. How I got interested in real estate investing I’ve spent the last 10 years in the health insurance industry, leading teams and working closely with operations, strategy, negotiations, and performance metrics. As I started thinking more intentionally about building long-term wealth, I became interested in how those same skills translate into real estate investing, particularly underwriting risk, building systems, and managing people and processes. I’m newer to real estate but was strongly inspired by the book "How to Invest in Real Estate", which pushed me from passive interest into action and ultimately led me to join the BiggerPockets community. House hacking stood out as the most practical way to learn the business firsthand while reducing personal housing costs, and I’m excited to learn from others who have successfully grown from their first deal.
