Hello BP Community,

My name is Ryan and I am currently on my way to Charlotte, North Carolina.

I know very little about the area itself, have zero personal connections, and to be honest, couldn't be more excited about starting from scratch!

In my past life, I taught in academia. In my spare time I had done some wholetailing (i.e., send out mail, purchase houses by means of cash, subject-to, and/or seller financing, then sell for profit).

Now, I have left teaching and made the decision to pursue my goal of full-time real estate entrepreneurship. 

As of now I am looking for work in Charlotte. Specifically, I've been looking for a sales job in something related to real estate in order to enhance my industry knowledge and sales skills (e.g., mortgage banking). The job market has proven pretty tough so far but I'd like to think I'm a pretty resilient guy, so I'll find something soon enough:-)

I figure once I get a consistent paycheck, I'll get my RE license and find a broker that will let me do some creative transactions on my own behalf. 

Feel free to comment on my plan.

I look forward to learning and contributing on BP.

Thanks for reading and wish me luck :-)
