New to site - ramping up my activity
Hi, I am new to BP after a recommendation to the BP podcast by a financial blogger friend. I've enjoyed the podcasts, so I wanted to try out the site.
I bought my first rental in NC in 2006 after I sold my house in Orange County, CA. I also bought my parents a house, which was turned into a rental when my Dad passed away. In March 2014, I bought my 3rd rental and formed a good relationship with the selling agent.
A partnership was formed with a college buddy, and we started looking into flips in NC. We won 2 bids and are in the process of having GCs do the rehab work. Hoping the first flip will be ready within the next week or so.
I'm looking forward to learning from everyone and sharing the lessons I've learned so far.

Wow, it's not every day that I meet people who even know where Fayetteville is @Dawn Brenengen @Jon Arthur and @Mike Ritter . My business partner is @David L. - he's like a brother from another mother and my Dad treated him a like son.
We'll have to coordinate and do a little meetup next time I visit with my wife and son and/or David.
Yes, my brother still lives in the area after getting out of the 82nd Airborne and settling down. He works near Raleigh on a flight medic team, but is pretty available should I need him to do anything for me. My property managers are pretty great too, so I'm sure they would check in for me also.
We're on track to get both houses listed this month, so that's pretty exciting... although we wish it would have been earlier in the Summer. Live and learn.
Talk to you soon!
