I am making it a priority to attend at least one a month to grow my network and learn. 

Communication is key and transparency is something call centers do not offer.If you ever have any questions or want to network feel free to reach out or send me an email.

Use your 9-to-5 income to save aggressively, invest in your education, and network with experienced investors.

I am looking to connect with any experienced home flippers & Lenders in the Charlotte area, or even just build my network.

Also:_________________________________________________________________________Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking. 

I’ve helped several clients in similar situations find their first vacation properties here in Florida, and the Panhandle is fantastic for beginners because of its year-round tourism and robust support networks (property managers, cleaning services, etc.).

Your best bet is to go to real estate networking events near those areas and talk to those who have invested in those areas.Best of luck!

There are some great tools out there always, but get connected and network as much as possible.

You can get 90% of the future equity, but you do have to have a GC do all of the work for you so you cannot DIY for future repairs.
