New to Charlotte - can you point me in the right direction?

[Raphael Thomas]

Hello, I'm an experienced real estate investor that is moving to Charlotte in 2022, and interested in meeting other local investors and service providers (property managers, handymen, contractors). I will purchase 3-5 SFH or/and multi-family properties in the Charlotte metro next year and am looking for strategic local co-investors. Currently interested in rentals, but open to development in the next couple of years. More generally, interested in meeting great people and building my network in Charlotte.

Any standup folks that I should connect with? 

Thank you,

Raph

There's several "heavy-hitters" in the area that are committed to helping new people invest in Charlotte. One of them hosts a meet-up group every month, and they have what's called "office hours" at their central Charlotte location (plaza), they've extremely connected and can hook you up with a lot of contacts depending on your goals. There are several other meet ups that are extremely valuable for making connections. That's how I got started when I moved back and several clients and investors I've worked with were from those groups. Feel free to send me a PM and I'll set up an introduction. My background is helping investors with on and off market acquisitions around Charlotte MSA and short term rental homes around CLT and Western NC mountains. So I've got a lot of connections too if you want to pick my brain. Good luck, and welcome to Charlotte.
