PRO Athlete trying to turn REAL ESTATE PRO

[Jordan Gay]

Hey all,

Quick overview of my situation:

I've been wanting to pull the trigger on my real estate investing portfolio for quite some time now but I am stuck in analysis paralysis. I'm wanting to start with the strategy of hold and rent but it is hard to find deals in the Charlotte market that make sense because inventory is so low. Financing has been interesting as well because of my current situation. I just made a career change from playing in the NFL for 3 years to being a commission-based Real Estate agent. So conventional lending is out of the question for the near term. I have found several asset based lenders that I can borrow from. 

What I am trying to achieve from this forum:

1) Surround myself with more like minded people in and around the Charlotte area.

2) Meet people that have experience in the Charlotte market and have been successful. 

3) Find private investors that want to pull money together and do deals with.

4) Learn as much as I can.
