Hey All. New to BP and REI and also new to the Asheville area. Plan on using my VA loan to get me started in a multi BRRRR and house hack till I can refi and get that landlord experience. Hope to flip with my refi to fund my cushion and start my next deal. Got my keywords on, listen to the podcast every day all day (started @ 1). Super excited to get started. Looking for my multi deal now and hope to have it done in 6 months when my rental lease is up. Love this site, on it every day. Hoping to meet some people in the Asheville area and start my team. Thanks BP for all the great content you provide, FREE!

Hey Jim Horne,
Thanks for reaching out and thank you for your service. I am excited to see where this I-26 expansion is gonna go. I work in Emergency Restoration, so we drive around the city a lot, and the first piece of advice I got was stay away from I-26 south of the city. That things a parking lot at rush hour and if there's an accident, forget it. I know the Fletcher area is coming up right now but I think that's due to Asheville growing outward. My prediction is when the expansion is complete home values south of Asheville are gonna jump. There's a couple other areas around here that I'm keeping an eye on. I think they're the next ones to jump up.
I'd love to connect and see what you're into over in Charlotte area. I'll PM you and send you an invite and we can get together.
