Hey @Account Closed, I'd rather you not move your marketing efforts to Concord and Kannapolis :) Thanks

Kidding, of course. But, to your point, I get way more leads outside of Mecklenburg county than I do inside.

Best of luck fellas.

In Mecklenburg county you have to obtain from courthouse. Not available online. Not sure if that applies to all counties in the state or if it varies county to county.

Ditto to what Shane said. I prefer Redfin to Zillow, but either will get you close enough. Start by trying to find anything same bed / bath count of subject property, +/- 10 years built, +/- 100sqft, ~mile or so distance. Expand if necessary. Also be sure to look at a picture of the property. Google map street view if not on Zillow. It should look similar (a 1200sqft two story townhouse is not a comp to a 1200sqft brick ranch). Try to get at least 2-3. Average out the price per sqft of your comps and then multiply that number by sqft of subject property.

Go to some local meetups and network with an agent (access to MLS). Have them pull some comps for a few properties you're interested in and you do the same. Use that to practice. It'll get easier over time.

Post: 3 / 2 light rehab in Concord, 28027 -- ARV $135k

Excellent location in Concord, 28027. Ask price for this property is $87k. Estimated repairs are $15k. Will definitely need full interior paint / flooring.

If your exit strategy is to fix and flip, repairs could be higher. Buy & hold, repairs could be less.

This home will rent for $1050 / mo.

Pictures of the property can be found here ==> https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0B2G75Kam1shsQlV5eVJsQ09xZ1E

Please text (704.507.0017) or email ([email protected]) for more information.

I can't speak personally to the success rate of posting wholesale deals on here with the pro membership, I just know I see it from time to time in my market so thought it worked lol. Bummer to hear you didn't get a lot of value from the pro. But good to know!

Similar to calling CL ads for WE BUY HOUSES, call the bandit signs in your neighborhoods. Get their contact info and add to your list. If you're available during the day, go to some courthouse auctions. Plenty of people there with cash. Go a couple times and look for repeat buyers. Then become friends.
