New Investor Raleigh, NC

[Clayton Kelley]

Hey BP Community!

My name is Clayton and I am currently a financial analyst living in Raleigh, NC. After reading many books, blogs, and listening to almost all of the BP podcasts, I have realized REI is the way I want to build wealth through passive income. What I have learned so far is that there is still SO much out there to learn, but I have developed a vision of what I want to achieve over the next five years. (Long story short: purchase 5 multi-family properties over the next 5 years while working full time)

Currently I am renting an apartment through the end of January. My goal is to purchase my first multi-family property when my lease runs out and "hack my housing" (@Brandon Turner ) by renting out one of my rooms to my current roommate and renting out the other units. 

I am looking for an investor friendly real estate agent in my area to sit down and discuss my business plan and financing options (FHA loans in particular). Any advice on how to find the right agent or any referrals?

Any and all advice welcome! I am here to learn!

Thanks everyone for your time!
