"New-ish" from Charlotte, NC
Hello Everyone! My name is Amanda Miklos, and I'm new to real estate investing and "new-ish" to Bigger Pockets... I set up a profile a while ago and have been reading and listening for some time, but have never introduced myself or engaged with others here. However, I'm turning a new leaf in that regard, and am looking to quit talking about and start DOING this real estate investing thing.
I've recently started an LLC and want to focus mostly on buy and hold properties, preferrably multi-families, in the Charlotte metro area. I am interested, long-term, in fix and flips also, but I'd like to get my feet wet in rentals first. I am very interested in aligning with people who are ethical, goal-oriented, "lets scratch each others' backs" types to create the most efficient, long-term business I can.
I am excited to be beginning this new adventure and eager to be more engaged here at BP!

@Chris T. , I was just about to praise you for organizing our last meetup. It was a great time and we all got to just chit chat about real estate and what we are all doing.
@Amanda Miklos , this is a great place to start networking! Multifamily is a great way to go because everything is the same! There are 2 duplexes for sale in Gastonia. Have been for some time now. They want to sell both or none. Asking $160,000. Each is a 2br/1ba. Laundry room is in the bathrooms and requires stackable washer/dryer which means to secure a tenant faster, you will be providing those along with the stove and fridge.
Check craigslist daily is my recommendation. I do, I just set aside about 20 minutes every day to try different key words to find properties. Also continuing to post on here in the marketplace that you are looking to buy some might yield some leads.
Good luck and welcome to the forum!
