Starting Out/Need advice Coastal NC

[Tyler Radcliff]

I am new to real estate, but I have been in the construction industry for the past three years as a drywall supplier so I do have some local commercial and residential contractor connections in the coastal NC area. Right now I am just looking to jump in to get some practical knowledge and experience outside of the reading materials provided on this site. My short term goal is to supplement part of my income so I can assist my fiancé with some of her grad school payments (she is about to start PA school in January).

I think I am only looking for some experience to understand what to look for, but I would like to have a couple of toes in the water around the start of the new year. I have about $15,000 saved up right now, but all I want to do is most effectively utilize my right now and learn as much as I can so I can hit the ground running.

I would love to connect and learn with investors in the area. If anyone has any information as to what kind of people I need to reach out to then that would be awesome. I appreciate everything in advance and I owe you all a stiff drink.
