A small investor from Charlotte, NC
What a pleasure it has been browsing the forums and reading the priceless information no any other place can offer.
My name is William, lived in south Charlotte (zip 28270). I have been in Charlotte since 2005. While my full time job is a professor in the university, I am also interested in real estate. I began to buy property from 2012. Till now, I owned 5 rental properties. Though I am really a small investor, I hope I can add the portfolio gradually.
I have been to this forum several years ago, but not decided to join in since I thought I was not ready for this commitment. But now I realized that if I want to grow in this area I need network, professional supports, etc which are this forum can provide.
I am looking forward to making new friends and connecting with you guys along the way!
