Hey @Corey Huston!  Yes, I am still looking to invest in the triangle area and would love to connect as well! I'll be back in the area in December but feel free to message me!

Hi @JMar Williams!

I'm at the same point myself! And would love to connect with other investors as well! I'm not in the area at the moment but definitely intend to hit up some REI meetings when I am back.

Thats awesome! I hope I can do the same!

@Chris Mason ok thanks!

@Diogo Alves  I'm still looking around for a good property and I want to shop around my loan to get a good rate but when it comes to closing I will let you know! n Thanks! ... I did everything online I think maybe it is one of the big mortgage corps although I had never heard of it before, McLean Mortgage Corp.  I simply wrote in my various income, how much I'll put down, my social security number, etc. He hasn't asked for anything else so far so I'm thinking when it comes to closing he'll want everything. Yikes! Cause I havent moved things over yet.

@Dean Letfus :( oh no!  I am curious like Diogo, what prevented them from closing?

Hey @Diogo Alves! I am kind of doing the same thing at the moment. I have a pre-approval from one bank but I too am worried what the hurdles will be to actually close.  I think I'll follow your advice @Chris Mason and try to move everything into an account for the down payment and closing costs. Would they need pay stubs?. They didn't ask with this first pre-approval though.

Ohh do you really?! I have been trying to find people who are investing even though they are living abroad! Are they on Bigger Pockets? Would you be able to introduce me to someone?

Yeah I've been reading books, listening to podcasts, and watching youtube videos for the past few months now. I'm leaning towards doing rentals for now but would love to get some money from wholesaling to buy more properties. I hesitate to do flipping though without a strong team in place and while living abroad. 

Ok, I'll definitely look into REIA and apartment associations and try to connect with people there!

Thanks!

p.s. I'm from Baltimore too!! :)

Hey Cam!  So I totally agree with what your saying though I am not sure how to do all the specifics. lol  But my question is what if you just want to start small and keep it simple? No websites just deals through agents etc.

ohhh this!! This is me too (Although I am from the states but just living abroad)! Definitely following!!

Hey @Jason E. Smith!! Thanks for the reply!! That is so true! I should definitely get a mentor first and I would love to do so. I have been looking but ...and I should've probably mentioned it in my post...I am actually living in Japan at the moment and while I would love to go to the REIA meetings and such, I can't. :( I usually come home to the states once a year but that wont be until around Christmas time. I feel though if I wait that long I will never actually get around to taking action and buying my first property.
