I'd also be happy to be a resource for you.

Or, do you just mean that I'll be dealing with a frivolous lawsuit that will just waste time and resources?

I've also been listening to the podcasts and reading guides and books.

I try to be a valuable contributor to my local community, referring others to key market resources and helpful individuals.

I'm soaking up as much knowledge as possible, through podcasts, various youtube videos, guides here on Bigger Pockets, and anyone who's willing to talk real estate with me.I've started looking into the local REIA groups to meet other investors in the area, just to get some insight into challenges, triumphs, and over all experience in the business here in Charlotte and surrounding areas. 

I'm also looking for local agents that could guide me in the right direction.

They also have resources that are useful to you.

I'm happy to be a resource however I can.
