Wilmington, NC -- new member, licensed REALTOR, eager learner

[David Browning]

Greetings all.  I've just joined up, and I'm eager to learn.  I'm a licensed REALTOR(r), but being a cynical old bugger, I think investing for long-term financial independence suits me better than calling strangers to beg for business.  I'm pretty much starting life over in a new city--well, I've been here for several months, but there have been hurdles better imagined than described--so I'm starting my real estate business anew (was licensed in NY) and starting out on the investor path.  

I've gotten warm welcomes in the local forums (fora?), so thanks in advance for the welcomes here.
