Greetings from a Veteran GIS User

[Greg C.]

Hello BP Folks,

It has been great reading this forum over the past couple of months since I started getting interested in REI. It has lots of interesting conversations and good advice for a newbie like me.

I am a professional GIS user with over a decade of experience. I am based out of North Carolina with a special interest in the Triangle and Triad regions. My short term goal is to get into wholesaling, and I have been generating lists of leads in my area. My long term goals are to leverage these funds into rental properties which seems like a much safer route than wholesaling.

I would very much like to connect with other investors through this forum. I am also open to exchanging free GIS work for mentorship opportunities or industry insights. Most of the GIS available to investors is through free web applications and county GIS pages, but these are incredibly lite versions of the software (ESRI) used in our industry. With enough data, I can generate lead lists and map them using a number of variables (absentee owners, fire-damaged properties, recent probate, etc.). I can also create incredibly detailed comp models and maps for properties and neighborhoods as well. 

Hoping to connect and grow with you all, and I look forward to learning more through this site.
