Raleigh Investor Changing Strategy

[Candace Berry]

Hi Everyone!

Michael and I have been flipping homes in the University Park area of Raleigh, NC for the last two years. We've enjoyed taking our time restoring old homes with an upscale historically sensitive focus. However, now its time to expand our reach into homes with a faster turn around and smaller budget. We love the realtor and sub-contractors we've worked with so far, but have been working in a bit of a rookie mistake "loner bubble".

We have joined TREIA, and have our first networking meetings this week. We're on BP to network with local like minded investors and agents. We also want to find some general contractors to help streamline projects. We discovered (rather late, we must admit) the idea of using wholesalers and would like to get recommendations from locals. 

Our most recent project at 301 Brooks Ave is currently on the market, but will fit a unique family. We are very proud of the home and have received many compliments on the quality of work and details. However, the size of the home came with its own set of lessons encouraging us to aim for homes that will end with a smaller price tag fitting a more average home buyer. 

We are reading everything we can get our hands on and welcome any suggestions, lunch meetings and recommendations you're willing to share. 

Thanks!

Candace & Michael
