New member from North Carolina
Engineer in Sandhills of NC (Aberdeen, Pinehurst, Southern Pines). I started working in and around real estate and construction when I was in my early teens and have continued to be involved in one way or another throughout my life.
I discovered Bigger Pockets while searching for podcasts to help teach my kids about financial investing, money management, and real estate. (It seems listening to others talk about stuff is always way more enjoyable and authoritative to my kids than hearing me drone on about something.)
I’m considering various real estate investment options, including build/upfit to rent, build/upfit to sell, and possibly others - mainly residential for now.
Also, if you have a question about residential or commercial construction, design, or repair, feel free to ask me. I’ve worked on most all aspects of such and - if it is in my area of practice - I will try to provide an answer.
