Wanna be real estate investor in Wilmington NC

Hey all, been lurking for some time now, listening to podcasts daily trying to learn as much as I can before getting my first property. Im living Wilmington NC area and its growing like wildfire here; tons of new houses, apartments, restaurants being built and its great to see. 

I dont want to have "analysis paralysis" but Id like to purchase my first property within the next 6 months (need a few more months of saving first off). For some reason with my luck, I feel there will be a heavy market correction in real estate (just looking at general patterns). Regardless, my long term goal is to become a buy and hold "expert", ultimately have 7 properties by the time im 37 (26 now) and have true financial freedom. I was always a big advocate on condos, however I have taken that out of the equation and will look into SFH or duplexes.

Im always learning a lot by reading and the podcasts so thank you BP family! I look forward to learning more.

Joe! Would love to talk to you about investing in Wilmington. I currently live in Sacramento CA and have some money to invest into a buy and hold (duplex or SFR in a good neighborhood). I'd love to build a team out on the east coast to create passive cash flow, and build up my portfolio for financial freedom.

I'd love to network and talk more as I'm not currently in the area. Please contact me so we can chat!
