Excited to grow with BP! Raleigh NC new member

[Wes Evans]

Brand new to the real estate world. Long term goals have always revolved around real estate and always find other ways to invest money because of the thought that "I need more money to invest in real estate, at least 100K" 

Removing that thought from my mind and coming here to learn! Currently live in Raleigh NC - Work in Tech Sales - Looking to learn as much as possible about local markets/finances/strategy/niches. 

Current plan:

1. Learn as much as possible 

2. Test Runs (Run numbers/watch markets/try to find deals)

3. Buy first property

4. Find niche of syndication/flipping/rentals  

My current career pays me around 100K - I have thought about getting into real estate many many times to make myself more familiar with the arena/people - The idea goal would be to work with investors to help find and analyse large deals or someone who is currently in syndication - My current state is 30 years old and about to be married - with current bills obviously in the short term this will cause some suffering thought for the long term I know this option could offer a much larger pay off. I am very analytical and have strong sales back ground so I feel my strengths will be in finding deals and funding. 

Any advice on finding mentors or making the right change in careers to become a full time investor is greatly welcomed!

I look forward to much more learning and excited to shift my investment mindset 100% to something I can have more control of!
