My name is Greg. Originally from upstate NY. I moved to Cary, NC in 2010. I am a 34 yr old full time slave to a paycheck and a pension. I'm married with a daughter and another on the way. I'm going to NC State University part-time, to get my masters, and decided to buy my first investment property just recently, despite this crazy market.

I've been drawn to real estate since 2012 when buying our first house. My father-in-law became a realtor after that purchase. Since then, the wife and I have always paid attention. We enjoy looking at homes (yes we're those people who walk in open houses just for fun, or used to be anyway). We've had some success with timely buying/selling/repeating in this growing Wake County, North Carolina market.

I have been heavily researching, obsessively, over the past 6 months. YouTube/books/ podcasts... Of course Bigger pockets is at the top. There's really no excuse to not know something now a days. If you are interested in learning about something, it is out there to learn. In this game the scary part is pulling the trigger, especially as we've been pretty conservative... Dave Ramsey was good for our youth, but it's time to compound our net worth now.

Looking to network. I know, personally, 1 investor in Wake County. I have made some good connections through my work with realtors, builders, inspectors, and have just recently found a broker who I will remain working with for some time. I am in search of a good CPA if there are any recommendations.

Look forward to meeting you all...maybe even doing business one day.
