Hey everyone! My name is Daisy and I’m just getting started on my real estate investing journey alongside my partner. We’re currently in the learning and networking phase — exploring options like flips, long-term, and short-term rentals. Right now, we’re focused on building relationships, asking questions, and soaking up as much knowledge as we can.
I’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts (more than once!), and now I’m ready to actually take that next step. If you’re open to sharing advice or just want to connect, I’d love to chat and learn from others in the community! We are currently near towards the water, Wilmington, NC.
@Daisy Abrajan Welcome! I'm also in Eastern NC right up the road from you in Onslow County.
Since you're still in discovery mode, I'd recommend taking a look at potential investment opportunities locally. There's a ton of potential with long-term rentals, Short-term rentals along the coast, and flip opportunities. If you would like help, reach out!
Hi Daisy! I self-manage a small portfolio of mid-term and long-term rentals in the Midwest. I would be glad to chat and answer any questions if you are considering going that route. If you can (and are not already doing so), I would recommend looking into house-hacking as a first step. It can be a lower risk path to get some initial experience and is also a powerful tool for building long-term wealth.
@Payton Haight Hey! Yes, thank you for reaching out! I'd love to chat and ask a few questions if you don't mind. We are looking at house hacking but we are not quite sure which way we'd like to go.
@Daisy Abrajan - absolutely. I would be glad to chat. House hacking is a great first step / entry in to real estate if you are able do it. I'll send you a message and we can set up some time next week.

Welcome to the world of real estate investing, it's great that you and your partner are taking the time to learn and network before diving in! Wilmington is a solid market with potential for both long-term and short-term rentals, especially near the coast where tourism stays strong. My advice: start by getting to know the local zoning laws and STR regulations, then connect with an investor-friendly agent who knows the Wilmington market well. When you're ready to take action, focus on one strategy first to gain momentum before branching out.
