Newbie Investor in Winston Salem, NC (The Triad)

[Brad Collins]

Hello Bigger Pockets world! I figured it’s time I make my first post.

I joined the BP community after listening to a couple podcasts and realizing how much I had to learn - and how much BP had to offer. We had just closed on our first investment property here in Winston Salem, NC (you can read a bit about it on my profile). Fast forward a couple months and we’re wrapping up the renovations and working to get it rented out. Exciting times and we cannot wait for the next one!

If you’re local to this market, I’d love to chat. I’m also looking for any meetups that might already exist. The podcast goes a long way to teach and motivate me but its always nice to meet others doing the same thing in Winston!

A bit about me:

Grew up in Atlanta, GA. Went to Clemson to become a mechanical engineer - Go Tigers! Worked out of Atlanta for a couple years before quitting and moving to Fort Collins, CO to live the “front range ski bum” life. After a couple years and a cross-country cycling trip with Bike & Build, I moved to Winston Salem in 2016 to be with the love of my life!

Hobbies include road & mountain biking, skiing (writing this post from the Denver Airport!), DIY home renovations, attempting to stay fit, most anything outdoors, and now, real estate investing!

Cheers,

Brad
