New Member from North Carolina

[Matt Cruz]

Hello everyone!  New member here currently living in Goldsboro, NC.

Little bit about me... 27 years young, been married for 2 years.  I'm a self-employed Insurance Agent (commercial focus).  I was looking into different ways to invest and I stumbled on this gem of a website.  Hoping to buy my first investment property within the next 12 months.  I've been lurking around the site for few months now, but I figured what better time than now to get serious and buy a Pro membership.

The area I live in is a military town, so rentals are everywhere. BRRRR strategy looks like it will work best for me in my area.

I have some money set aside already for my first purchase, but I still want to educate myself on all options with lending, refinancing, etc so I am 100% prepared going in.

I'm all ears for anyone that is willing to lend some advice. Currently don't have access to MLS so it sounds like I need to start doing some networking, or find other options? Does anyone use http://biggerpockets.foreclosure.com/?  Doesn't seem to be included with the pro membership.

Look forward to networking with you all!

Matt
