hello all, 

i have been hanging out and learning tons on Bigger Pockets for a while and thought i had better formally introduce myself. I live in a small community west of Asheville NC. I having been practicing medicine for about 20 years. Love medicine but hate the bureaucracy that devoured it. This not what i went into medicine for. For years, I have felt that there was nothing else i was qualified to do, in which i could earn a good income and ENJOY as much as taking care of patients. I have been very unhappy for a long time because of this. Everyday looking for "something" else. I stumbled onto the idea of real estate investing when my daughter was purchasing her primary residence. Wandered onto Bigger Pockets....and then all the light came back on. I am very interested in the BRRR model. I get so excited I can hardly sleep, wake up early and stay up late studying this stuff. Its like being in medical school all over again ...and i loved that. I have regained goals, focus, purpose, and I have't even done my first deal. I do have a contract on a little house that i hope i get tomorrow. I know i will need the wisdom of many here. Thanks BIgger Pockets for being so many things for so any people.

Welcome @Anna Stratton,

I'm just down the road in Bryson City, there is a lot of opportunity along the 19/74 corridor and some great deals in Waynesville.  As they say it's all about taking that first step, good luck in closing your first purchase.
