Newbie Investor Eastern North Carolina
Good evening all!
I am a U.S. Marine located in Eastern North Carolina. I've been listening to BP podcasts for about a year but have spent about 2 years reading books, researching real estate and evaluating properties. I am working on my first property (flip) with two prospective buyers already and it's not on the market yet! Although I started with a flip I'm trying to raise capitol for entry in the buy and hold strategy. This property is located in Jacksonville, NC.
Also, I am actively looking for properties in Baltimore, MD and Charleston, SC because I have a couple of friends in those areas that would be interested in investing together.
I am open to any thoughts and suggestions and look forward to learning from you all, and meeting up with some of you in the future!

@Kevin Fox Welcome to BP! You mentioned you have spent two years reading books, and are looking to raise private capital. Have you read Raising Private Capital by Matt Faircloth? If not I suggest that, as it's a great resource on the topic. As far as the other areas where you have friends, how active are they wanting to be in the process? Do they attended meet-ups? Do they have teams in place in their respective areas?
Not sure if there are any meet-ups around you or not, but there is one in Fayetteville called 'Pints & Properties' that is the second Saturday of every month and is always a fun and educational experience. Reach out to @Shelby (Osborne) Johnson to be added to the list so you can be reminded of it. You won't be disappointed.
