Getting Started with Strategy

Michael Davis
Pro Member
Posted

Hello from the Charlotte, NC area! I say area because my wife and I reside in Fort Mill, SC and are looking forward to getting serious about REI.

We recently sold a rental in Columbia, SC and did fairly well. We will be leveraging the proceeds to jump in, but this time with a strategy that aligns to our vision. We have filed for our LLC and are awaiting our EIN so we can open the necessary corporate accounts. Once that is complete, we plan to purchase the Pro membership.

From what I have seen, the REI community is one that is open to helping each other and look forward to meeting like-minded people in our area. If there are any groups aligned to Bigger Pockets that meet in or around Charlotte please reach out.

Thanks,

Mike & Rachel Davis

     Hi Mike, congrats on doing well with your Columbia, SC sale. There's a ton of meetups if you search for them here on the site. Check those out and jump in the forums. You'll meet a ton of ppl that way. What is your goal/strategy that you're moving forward with?

     Hi John, 

    My wife and I attended a meet up in Tega Cay, SC last Saturday and have been looking into more around the Charlotte area. I know there are some out in Matthews as well but haven't connect with them yet.

    Hey Mike & Rachel, welcome to the area and congrats on the next step in your REI journey!

    I'm a realtor and investor, and it's great to see you both taking the plunge with your LLC setup. Charlotte has a solid network of investors, and there are definitely a few meetups that could be a great fit.

    I’d be happy to connect you with some groups and resources in the area. Feel free to reach out anytime—would love to chat more about your investment plans and how I can help!
