Re-Introduction from NC
Hi Everyone,
We're not really new, but we have been MIA for about 2 years. My name is Christine and my husband is Thom. I first want to apologize to those who tried to contact us for colleague requests or other questions and we did not get back them.
About 2 years ago we posted about a truck that ran into one of our rental properties. Long story short, the insurance company cashed us out on the property. With the money we were able to buy our own personal property at an estate auction. We bought a 3/2 on 1 acre for $28,000. We are very happy with it though still working on making it our dream house.
So now we have 8 rental units in the Statesville, NC area. We have definitely had a very busy two years. Originally my husband wanted us to have 10 rentals before we did our first flip. I think he's decided now that 8 is plenty. We don't have a property manager and we both work full time jobs. I look forward to reconnecting with people and building relationships that will benefit us all.

Hi Christine,
Two fold response. Doing investing full-time in Statesville is a great idea right now. It has allowed me to walk away from my corporate job, in which I spent almost 60 hours a week doing. Investing is a lot of work, but I love it! Also, as far as the landlord's meeting, it is the third Tuesday of the month, we start gathering around five the meeting starts at six. In between that time we order dinner and chat. It is at king of the sea restaurant on Davie Avenue in Statesville. Please come join us. You'll meet a lot of great people, and quite possibly people that you know. We also have something in common, after accumulating several rental properties I am working on my first flip also! 🙌
