Hello,

I live near Boone & also spend a lot of time in Cornelius.  I'm here to learn about real estate because it seems like a tangible investment that I can understand.  Real estate is a very big part of the local economies of both Boone & Cornelius.   I have seen family and friends benefit from both long term holdings on the lake, and from income generating rentals in the mountains.  

I built our home in the mountains, and enjoy the hands on projects that increase the charm and value of a home.  So, I can see myself flipping some properties if I run across the right deals, or perhaps building some homes on the lake.   I like the cash flow aspect of owning rentals.

I'm not in the position to act on anything today, but have some time read and learn.  I want to get a general understanding about the various way to invest in real estate, so when I am ready I will have a number of options to choose from depending on the market, my assets, and what I find appealing then.

If you're local to Boone or LKN maybe we'll meet over a deal, or a beer sometime.  ;)
