Hi. I'm Brian.
I am new to REI. I am currently trying to get educated so I can start investing. My start will probably use the BRRR strategy.
Hopeing to find others close by. Let me know if you are around. I live in Havelock.

I'm from Raleigh but travel the whole state for my "day" job. I'm also fairly new to REI and have started with some STR in the mountains. Just started reading the BP forums, some books and self-learning. Would love to connect at some point if our paths cross.

Thanks for replying Joe.
If you make it over to Morehead, New Bern, Atlantic beach or Jacksonville let me know.
What is STR?

@Brian Summerall . Hi Brian. I live in New Bern and have a couple of long-term rentals and a couple of short-term rentals there. If you are looking to network, look up Eastern North Carolina Real Estate Investors Association on Facebook. They have had a couple of meetups in Jacksonville. If you are looking for local bank financing for investment properties in need of rehab, I can recommend a lender I have enjoyed working with. I wish you much luck getting started!

Im from Bayboro, NC (Pamlico County) and live in Fayetteville, NC. I have considered investing in the area at some point but haven’t done so yet.

Hi Charlese. I drive through Bayboro often for work. I've seen several properties I'd to get there.

Hey Brian,
My intro post was just a few hours before yours, so I am new here as well. I live in Holly Ridge and am currently in the middle of my first BRRRR in Jacksonville. I am hoping to make the Jacksonville meet up tomorrow but I am getting carpet installed in the afternoon so we'll see how long it takes! Hopefully we can meet at some point!
