Hi David,
I appreciate the invite to the NC REIA Zoom meeting on April 9 and the Charlotte chapter meeting on April 16. I'll check my schedule and see if I can attend.
I’d love to have a conversation about my goals and how your office can be a resource beyond lending. Let’s set up a time to connect—do you have any availability this week or early next?
Looking forward to talking soon!
Best,
Istel Contreras

Hi David,
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and encouragement! I’m excited to dive into wholesaling and eventually grow into fix-and-flips and buy-and-hold investments. I appreciate the offer to connect with local resources—I know how important networking and learning from experienced investors is in this business.
I'd love to learn more about how North Carolina REIA can support my journey. Are there any upcoming events or resources you'd recommend for someone just getting started?
Looking forward to staying in touch!
Best,
Sofia

Hello, my name is Sofia Contreras and I'm a new investor in the area of Ashville NC , ready to learn and start getting my feet wet. I'm learning the ins and out of wholesaling but my end goal is to fix and flip and buy and hold properties. Great a portfolio of rental properties and generate cash flow. If you are in the area would love to connect and learn from experience investors that are willing to help someone that is brand new to this business.
