Hi, my name is Adam Cousley from Raleigh, NC. I am a 29 year-old Corporate Finance/Sales Operations professional looking to start real estate investing part-time. Currently, I am in the education phase of real estate investing; reading books, listening to the podcasts, and poking around the forums over the past month.
I have been interested in real estate for a while now, but faced the hesitation of jumping in and also not knowing exactly where I fit into the real estate community. Joining BiggerPockets has helped me decide to become a real estate investor and has already taught me a lot about getting started.
My initial plan is to focus on buy and hold properties, building a cash flow producing portfolio. I would like to at least start here in Raleigh to learn the business, but I am open to investing in other areas, especially after I become more seasoned in the business.
My experience is limited to the purchase of my primary residence two years ago. I appreciate any insight, tips, and feedback on all things real estate related. My hope is to find deals and methods of financing by becoming a contributing member of the BiggerPockets community and building my network both locally and nationwide through the forums.
