New Member from Raleigh NC

[John Upperman]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the BP community and am planning on making my first RE investments in the next 60-90 days.

My immediate areas of interest:

Buy and Hold, SFH and multi family.

I'm a complete noob, but I have had the real estate "bug" for years.  Finally decided it was time to start doing and stop dreaming.  

Drop me a line if you're a BP member in the RDU area and would like to connect.

Always great to see new investors from the Triangle -- welcome aboard! Tons of great stuff here on BiggerPockets...especially the Podcasts.   I'm from the Raleigh area. If I, or @Chris Edwards, can help fill in the gaps along your journey don't hesitate to ask -- that's what it's about...reaching out to help others.

All the best-

KE

Thanks for the invitation to connect.  I actually found your site earlier today and am very impressed with what you have achieved in the Raleigh area.

Welcome John. I'm new to this community as well and to REI as a whole. I live in NJ but I'm from Fayetteville and plan on starting my investing career in the Raleigh-Durham area.

Hey John,

Welcome to BP! It's a great community here. You will gain a TON of knowledge and who knows - maybe you'll even find a partner or two.

Knowing that there is a resource available to me that offers advice on pretty much any REI question has been a huge benefit to me and my business.

Investing in multifamily properties by using as little of my own money as possible is my game. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in your journey!

The best way to jump into buy and hold ownership is to target an owner occupied multi family home with an FHA loan - which means only 3.5% down payment. Send me a message if you want more details. : )
