Starting Out (rentals) in Greenville, NC

Starting Out (rentals) in Greenville, NC

Investor · Member since 2021 · 3 posts · 4 votes

Hi Everybody!

My wife and I are excited to get started in REI. We are looking to invest in long term rentals, mainly single family and small multifamily and scale up over the years. Our focus is mainly on the Greenville area (where we live) and Eastern NC. We have both lived around the Durham and Chapel Hill area for many years, I am from Durham and my wife Katrina is from Fayetteville, so we are very familiar with those areas as well and would be open to opportunities there.

We would love to meet anyone and get connected in the area. We are currently looking for a real estate agent and recs for contractors/handymen, as we think turnkey or small rehabs may be the best way to get our feet wet and gain some experience before getting into bigger BRRRR projects. I make a decent income at my job and we envision my wife transitioning into REI full time over the next few years to get REPS and using the income from my job for most of our down payments. We have been studying a lot and are currently doing the BP Bootcamp, just need to fill out our contacts and team and start buying some properties!


Thanks
