Very new (future) investor! I'm hoping to connect!

[Imani Porter-Clinton]

Hi my name is Imani and I'm looking to invest in real estate in Charlotte. I'm about 6 hours away from the area but am looking to move down there in the near future. I don't have any direct experience with real estate investing but I've been inspired by the amount of internet research I've done, talking to a few friends, and my readings (i.e How to Invest in Real Estate, Rich Dad Poor Dad, 12 week year, etc.).

I'm interested in initially just buying a house and renting it out to a few people, and then eventually getting into BRRRR sometime afterwords.

Would love to connect with anyone out here! And please feel free to leave any helpful tips. For example, I've heard it's generally better to invest in the suburbs rather than places like Uptown because there's just too much competition with apartments, condos, etc.
