@Okey Lawrence  TREIA, Triangle Deal Maker Sessions, and a monthly Bigger Pockets get-together --that's a good combo of ways to cross paths with other investors in the area.

My goal is to accelerate this work and make real estate investing my primary income.

If there was a cafe or mini restaurant that's a money maker because everyone wouldn't have to go into town to eat.

I was hoping to make real estate a career and not just another one of my investments.

It seem 2 (Stephen and Robert) think leverage is needed to make real money as a landlord.

I don't necessarily want to make real estate investing my fulltime career, but a very lucrative side hustle to my own business in holistic wellness and urban farming.In 2009, I WAS looking to make real estate investing my fulltime career, mostly as a wholesaler but I've since realized that I do not have a passion for that particular niche, but I do love the flexibility, cash flow, and wealth creation that building a healthy property portfolio provides.At any rate, I look forward to FINALLY engaging with people on the forums, learning, DOING, and sharing with others.

If you can, try to buy a place with some value add potential, or with something that will make it stick out from the rest of the short term rentals in the area (biggest difference maker is a view).

Hello, kind of a newbie on here...We have just landed our third rental, and now have three tenants (two in a duplex and one SFR).We are looking to make rent collection easier and were planning on doing the following...Open a savings account, in the name of our LLC, at the local bank here is western NC. 

The Georgia  REIA deal makers meetup is earlier at 10:00 am I think but will cost you $10.

These can leave a very slight film on windows, floors, etc, but it wipes away very easily with a dry cloth.
