New Charlotte NC Investor
Hello all my name is Zach and I'm very excited to be here and take my real estate journey to the next level!
Originally from Winston-Salem NC I currently live in Charlotte NC and love this city! About a year ago I decided to really dive deep into learning about real estate as it was something I had alway been interested in since I was a teenager. I was also drawn to it like so many as a way to live my dreams and be financially free. (With countless hours of hard work and growth along the way of course.) I currently have only one property which is my primary residence but am on track to purchase my first rental in 2020! If there are any investors in my area that would like to meetup I would be happy for the opportunity to offer my services in return for mentorship. I have alway been a very visual and active learner and throughout my entire life I've found that the best way to learn anything is by DOING! I would like to thank everyone before me whos has helped to contribute to the wealth of knowledge here on bigger pockets I look forward to joining your ranks soon!

Hi @Zach Crews welcome to BP! You've got to start somewhere, so dive in! Have you thought about what your strategy might be as far as what kind of property you're looking for. The Charlotte market is great, but definitely great for some types of properties over others.
There are quite a few meetups in the Charlotte area that @chris t hosts every month. Check them out!
