Durham, NC newbie

[Eric Pink]

Hi there everyone,

My name is Eric, and I find myself in Durham, NC after on and off travel for the last few years with my wife. I am a photographer by trade, but also work remotely for a cell phone company and take care of my 6 month old daughter! Over the last few months I have been brainstorming about creative wealth building methods and investment strategies. After a bit, I started considering REI as a vehicle for the capital I have and have been spending as much of my free time trying to absorb information off of the BiggerPockets site predominantly.

I am interested mostly in buy and hold rental properties and have been looking at duplexes and other multi-family homes, but the more I learn, the more I think there are just a bunch of interesting strategies out there.

Hopefully within the next 6 months, I hope to have reached a level of confidence and go-for-it attitude to make that first purchase (which I have already started planning, but that's my next post!). I just wanted to thank all of you for already providing a bunch of inspiration and knowledge to me and I hope to build some relationships on here as time goes by. Talk to you soon!
