Newbie from San Diego, CA and headed to North Carolina

[Gil Roebuck]

Hello all. I've been a Bigger Pockets fan since Jan last year. After sometime sitting on the sidelines I think its time to introduce myself and give a big shout out to all that have been a part of making Bigger Pockets the valuable resource that it is. 

About me, I am currently in North County, San Diego. I'm a General Contractor who has been really wanting to get on the other side of real estate for way too long. I'm originally from the East Coast and will be packing my family (Hot Brazilian wife, and smartest 13 mo son ever) and moving to NC.  We will be settling in the Hickory, Lenoir area. We have tried to be strategic in our location to tap into Greensboro, Asheville, and Charlotte areas. 

My wife and I welcome any feedback on these areas.

Our goals are geared towards our long term goal of 500 units in multi-family with at least $100 per door. We will be using our real estate platform to bring my wife's family to the US from Brazil. I have more questions regarding this which I will place in another post. We are planning to house-hack when we move and use some savings to do some flipping to fund some brrrr deals on some smaller mfr's and scale up from there.

I almost forgot this is just an introduction. I look forward to connecting with everyone on here and we're excited about this new chapter in our life.

Blessings from the Roebuck's,

Gil, Camila, and Clifton

@Gil Roebuck Welcome to BP! Welcome to NC!

Here are some resources I've enjoyed:

If you haven’t already listened to the podcasts I’d start there.

Podcasts

Episode 108 - Grant Cardone... Just listen…

Episode 283 Paul Thompson - Quite a new episode but I would think everyone would agree this is a top episode. Mainly, the systems implemented are fascinating (VA, automated offers, etc.) Plus...escape velocity...

Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady advice

Episode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k

Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.
