New to BP Greensboro NC Area

Hello BP, My name is Quinton and I live in the Greensboro area of NC with my wife of 10 years and our 3 young kids.  I am a med sales rep w 15 years in devices which I love and enjoy.  We own two nice rentals that have been good experiences over the past 3 years.  Closing on number 3 in Sept.  Our goal is to gradually replace my income over 15 years w nice rent-generating properties w long-term tenants (which it seems there are plenty of in our area).  Currently I am interested in solving two problems - reducing the amount spent on settlement fees at closing and also discovering a flip opportunity in our area.  I need some experience with this so I recently started developing a strategy to find my first deal.  I like cold calling and solving problems so Im sure it will come.  

I listened to about 15 podcasts here on the recommendation of a friend so I thought it would be the right thing to do to participate rather than just stand outside...thanks for all the useful content.
