Greetings from Durham NC!!

[Marco Harris II]

Hello everyone,
My name is Marco Harris II, I am a research scientist/aspiring real estate investor in Durham NC. I currently own 2 properties, one rental and one rehab that I live in and am about half way through renovating at the same time.
In the last 2 years I have discovered a knack and developed a love for renovating. I have torn down and rebuilt my kitchen from floor to ceiling, replaced a load bearing wall with a 26 foot beam, done painting, plumbing, electric, drywall, and tiling. I can honestly say that loved every minute of it! (aside from sanding joint compound that is.)
My goal is to take these newly acquired skills and knack for working with my hands and expand on my rental property portfolio in a way that will allow me to keep turning the money over and buying more income producing property, I would also like to learn about and get into other avenues of investing i.e. flipping, wholesaling, or anything that will produce cash flow in shorter periods of time. I would love to transition from being a scientist to a full time RE investor.
I have begun to pull some cash together and collect information in make another investment and would like some insight on modes and strategies of investing that would allow reach my goals. I live in a college town flanked by college towns and feel like there is great opportunity here to build my rental empire. I would also like to find a mentor and connect with other RE investors especially but not only in the RDU area.
I look forward to networking with you all and can't wait to get this thing moving!!

@Marco Harris II GM I’m in Durham. Haven’t gotten my 1st property yet. Looking for multi family 2to4 maybe 5 unites. I was looking to connect with someone. What area are your property located at? Baltimore MD is a good place. I love how the homes look on the inside. The space is so nice never will think it form the outside. Thank you for getting back to me.
