Going against the grain for a new investor on internet forums

I never actually thought I would be the person sitting on the other side of a keyboard typing into a internet forum. I've always taken a reserved stance against the idea of spilling your guts over the internet about business, personal, or emotionally related topics with people you will more than likely will never really know. I've always found it easier and more comfortable to make connections through face to face interactions.  I am sure many of you have been in my shoes, and have felt the same way at one point or another.  But, I stand before you (actually I sit before you) today in shock and awe of how easy it has been to write this post. Therefore I have decided to put myself in an unfamiliar space in order to reach outside of the proverbially box, and make new connections, and market myself to a whole community that I have yet to take advantage of all of the benefits, resources, and knowledge that can be gained from doing so. So BiggerPockets, here I am. I am looking to venture into the central North Carolina real estate market as a buy and hold investor. My self proclaimed niche is multifamily properties, but they seem to be a dime a dozen right now in and around the Raleigh-Durham area, therefore I like to keep my options open into SFH realm as well. As a licensed structural engineer I am very savvy with the building codes, inspections departments, contractor awareness, and structural design which gives me an unfair advantage with any construction that may need to be completed. I look forward to hearing from you all!

@Patrick Menefee there definitely seems to be a wealth of knowledge regarding real estate. Whether it be the forums, podcasts, and/or webinars. I’ve found that once you’re hooked on real estate, there’s no stopping the urge to learn more about it. Happy hunting my friend.
