Hello all,
I live in South Charlotte area and I am looking to start investing. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to start? I have seen REI Meet ups and was going to start attending but wanted any other suggestions that I may be missing. I currently own a condo with my fiancé and we are looking to buy another house and rent my condo out. Any help is appreciated!

@Stephen Foltin welcome to the area! What kind of investing are you looking into? Continuing to buy condos?
There’s a fantastic meetup that I believe is next Tuesday, hosted by @chris t (I’m on my phone, will have to tag him later). It’s out at Resident Culture. I also host one out at Angry Ales in montford, the next one is on the 15th so feel free to come out! We also have a group of local investors who stay in touch through the GroupMe app, so just let me know if you want to hop in.

@Patrick Menefee Hey there, I've been diving into the CLT forums and soaking up all the great advice and pointers. Could you add me to the GroupMe chat, I would love to start attending local meetups to grow my REI network so I can help my peers and learn along the way. Many thanks!

@Patrick Menefee that is awesome! I would love to be added if that would be ok! I am a newbie as well, and am extremely excited to connect with others and soak up all I can.
I am also starting to look around to invest in multifamily units in charlotte or suburbs of charlotte. looking for real estate agents or wholesalers. Looking for cash-flowing properties. Thanks

Charlotte's a fantastic place to get started. Definitely meetup w/ Patrick Menefee and his group. He's actively closing deals and always looking to learn and help other people. You might see me there. If you're looking for some resources to help record your expenses, reach out or go to my site where I provide some excel templates for documenting and calculating your mileage and expenses for your investments. Dan Hanford is a great resource too, mostly in syndication space.

congrats on being above average @Stephen Foltin. If you don't want to switch from finance to managing tenants and toilets, then learn how to make more at your W2 and invest passively with proven real estate sponsors.
