New investor from Charlotte, North Carolina

[Aris Azar]

Greetings BP brethren,

My name is Aris Azar. I’m a new investor from the Charlotte, NC area. I am currently working with a Buy/Hold strategy with vehicles in the form of apartments/condos. I am relatively new to the market and looking to soak up as much information as I can from all local investors (new and seasoned). I work a full-time job in the healthcare industry and my interest towards real estate investments in Charlotte stems from how beautiful of a city it is and my thought that in the coming 5-10 years, it is posed to experience aggressive expansion.

How I came about BiggerPockets.com? A good friend introduced me to the BiggerPockets website, as he is a seasoned investor in the Texas market and provided me some early guidance during the purchase of my first investment property. Part of his guidance included a link to the BiggerPockets forum. Shortly after visiting the site, I discovered the podcast and I've fallen in love with listening to the guys on my drive(s) to/from work (literally started from episode one and slowly creeping up on 100) and have also graduated to purchasing & reading books from "Beardy Brandon" and Josh Dorkin (UBG, Book on Rental Property Investing, Tax Strategies for the Savvy REI + sprinkled in a little Kiyosaki).

Anyhow, as part of my journey as an investment property owner in the Charlotte, NC market, I am now looking to grow my team. 

Thank you all in advance for having and assisting me.

Aris
