Looking to make connections in the Triad!

[Ariela Perez]

Hi Everyone. This is my first introductory post on BP so im pumped! . I have been a lurker for about 6 months on BP but I have totally been invested in education, reading and podcasts every night like an obsession… I am a healthcare worker and also a mom of 2 little ones working very long hours.. It took me a while but now I realize that my W2 is great but will not win my time back. Looking to start on my path to financial freedom now.

I have been trying to build a team out in the Triad area in NC for several months, from a distance. I live in NY. The Triad is a great location and I always want to invest into areas that I would either live in or visit/vacation in.

Would anyone here be willing to help me solidify my team? This area is booming and several of the realtors I have been in contact with are swamped which is totally understandable. I would love to connect with anyone investing in this area to hear about your experiences. Also would love to connect with any realtors that can assist me, and who maybe have experience with someone out of state. I have been looking at off market deals and would love someone to assist with those especially! I do have a property manager contact but need to find a go getter realtor(s) and maybe a GC or handyman contact as well if possible. I do have a contractor but it doesn’t hurt to have a back up person just in case.

Well, thank you all for your time! Looking to go over there over the summer to meet fellow investors and team. Hopefully can meet some of you in person.

Have a great weekend!

@Ariela Perez Welcome to BiggerPockets you are definitely in the right place. I am not in the Triad area, but I would still like to share my knowledge.

I would advise you to interview investor agents and find one that best meets your criteria. Investor- Agents have a better understanding of profitable locations and help you understand numbers. They also have connections to contractors, lenders, and many other people that can help reach your goals.

If you're looking for an investor agent I would recommend using the "Find an Agent" tool at the top of BP. It will allow you to select an area that you are interested in and will show you different agents in that area along with their BP account.

Hopefully this helps!
