Newbie REI in Raleigh NC

[Kyle Roberts]

Hello,

My name is Kyle, I am 24 years old, and an aspiring real estate investor living in Raleigh, North Carolina. A little bit about me, I grew up in Philadelphia PA, then last year moved to Raleigh to take a job as a project manager for a pharmaceutical company. I realized that the 9-5 lifestyle was not all that it was cracked up to be and decided I needed to find something else to do. After reading rich dad poor dad and looking around the internet I stumbled upon Biggerpockets. After listening to a few of the podcasts and reading articles on the site I decided that I wanted to get involved with real estate investing.

Currently, I am trying to learn as much about real estate investing as possible. If anyone has any advice on getting started and getting their first deal done I would really appreciate your input. Also, I know how critical networking is in this field so I would love to connect with anyone who thinks I could provide value to their business or anyone in general interested in sharing their investment journey. Moving forward my goal is to start buying distressed single family homes in the Raleigh-Durham area to BRRRR and start building my portfolio. As I gain more experience and build my network I want to eventually move to bigger multifamily units and possibly small apartment complexes.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and I hope to hear from some of you soon.
