Anyone in Charlotte Fort Mill area interested in helping me?

[Bob Vann]

I live in Saratoga, NY and I will be in Fort Mill from noon on 8/19 until Thursday evening. My intent is to look at real estate investments. If there is a seasoned investor/wholesaler/flipper that would be interested in helping me with out with some knowledge sharing, I would be happy to meet and buy the food/drinks! I need some help with strategy. I have 100k cash to work with, or I could leverage that to about 500k as a loan. I am hoping to wind up with a MF property that I can hold for a while and use one unit as a parttime 'second home' residence for frequent trips to Charlotte, and eventually use the equity in the property to leverage the next property. But I know that may not be the best strategy. I am fairly new to buy and hold as investment, and wholesaling as I understand the term from reading posts. I have bought a couple of houses in the past to flip with some but little success, but that was during the time the market dropped in 2008. Looking for some direction, if you can help me let me know! Thanks!
