BP Newbie in Charlotte, NC Area

Greetings Bigger Pocketers!

My name is Tom ONeil and I am a long time member, first time poster on BP. I just upgraded to my Pro account to take my Real Estate Investing career to the next level.

Late last year I decided to leave the corporate world and pursue Real Estate and Investing full time. I currently own a handful of rental properties in the Southwest Charlotte area (North and South Carolina) and am looking to grow this portfolio and help others do the same for theirs. I recently got both my North and South Carolina Real Estate Licenses and am pretty excited about what 2017 has to hold!

I tend to focus my investments on monthly cash flow and allow any appreciation to be icing on the cake.

I am very intrigued by the BRRRR strategy and would love to actuallyput it into action one of these days.

Anyway, glad to be here and if I can be of any help to those of you in and around Charlotte, or to those who are curious about the area, give me a shout.

-Tom

    Good luck Tom and lets connect. I have a flip that just hit the market on Shopton Rd and would enjoy connecting. We have several rentals near downtown and currently are looking at a multifamily in Winston Salem. Would enjoy networking and hearing your ideas. Lets connect.

    Hey Tavaris,

    Probably the best place to start would be the BP Path to Purchase.

    Its not easy but I think the first one is the toughest.

    @Tom ONeil

    Welcome, Tom! I'm interested in the Charlotte area as well. I notice that you live in SC. Are you working with a property manager in Charlotte? If so, could you recommend a good, reliable property manager there?
