New to REI in Charlotte, NC

[Brent B.]

Hey everyone,

Been lurking around BP for a few months and finally decided to start getting more involved. I've lived in Charlotte, NC for a few years, working as an accountant for one of the banks here. I'm interested in learning the ropes of the REI world. Right now I'm just trying to learn as much as possible and network. Would like to get my start in Wholesaling within the next 6 months or so. Eventually want to own my own RE through house hacking, flipping, and/or rental property investing. My overall goal is to reach Financial Independence.

Nice to meet you all!

Brent

Welcome! I remember saying the same exact thing when I was 20 years old. I was obsessed with everything having to deal with real estate investing. Books, podcasts, videos, you name it. You can have all the knowledge in the world on this subject but if you don't FULLY COMMIT and believe in yourself, that knowledge is worthless. Just like money, its worthless if its not spent! It took me 10 years to get over my fears of failure and learned how to become comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Now its become an obsession. Fighting though a deal sucks sometimes. But, when you start winning those small battles and making **** happen. Things really change. Its like golf, you can just absolutely suck. You hit 125 horrible shots but that one good one will keep you interested. Next time you hit 2 or 3 good shots. Next thing you know your playing golf everyday because your obsessed. Take action and FULLY COMMIT to what your vision and goals are! Hope you kill it!
