Hello from Charlotte! My wife and I started our investing journey about 5 years ago and amazingly have just stumbled onto this site. I can only imagine how much easier things would have been if we had known this site existed when we were getting started. We felt for the longest time like we were on an island with real estate investing but it's great to know there are so many others.

To date, we've been focusing on buying rentals. This has gone well but we have quickly realized there is only so much you can do operating on work income. We're hoping to boost our capital by getting into flips and maybe wholesales. Almost every rental we've purchased has needed repairs so we are hoping it is a natural next step into flips.

Time to get busy on marketing and networking. We are looking forward to being part of the Bigger Pockets community and meeting like-minded people.
