Newbie to REI in the Charlotte, NC Area

[Lisa Smith]

Hi all -

I'm a newb to REI and have been doing a lot of research lately - podcasts, books, forums, articles, etc. I'm excited to be here and start building my network and continuing to learn more.

A little bit about me - I'm a college grad originally from west Michigan. I just moved to Charlotte, NC about 8 months ago. I work a day job in Human Resources for a small firm in the Charlotte area and I do enjoy it but ultimately, I want to be my own boss and work for myself. I want financial freedom and I am going to achieve that with real estate investing. 

I am going to buy my first property this year and I'm here for any/all advice, suggestions, etc. Once I get my feet wet, I'm ready to take off and hopefully help others as I learn more and gain some experience and traction in the real estate game. 

Again, so excited to be here and can't wait to connect with many of you!

Thanks for reading :)
