Hey everyone,

I currently own 2 houses with a substantial equity. I am interested in the development side or real estate and I am looking for resources to help me learn more about it. I’m located in Charlotte, NC. Recommendations?

Hey guys, I have a long term rental in Raleigh and a STR in Florida. This is my first year renting and I am new to Charlotte so I need to find a good CPA to file my taxes with this year. Looking for recommendations! Thanks

Hey everyone,

I just closed on my first investment property in Florida. I live in NC and closed on the house on Tuesday. The seller has his own short term rentals and is managing the property for me.

I am curious to know what other property managers cover with their fee ie. Household materials (paper towels, soap etc.) landscaping, and maintenance and repairs etc.

Also looking for a little more guidance on the management side of things so anything you have to say on short term rentals I’m all ears!

@Will Kaufmann I agree. I hadn’t thought about taking post licensing yet but I think it’s a good idea. Thanks for the advice Will!

@Will Kaufmann it is definitely an option. I plan to make it my career and begin investing until I can focus more of my time on my investment business. Taking the first steps toward getting listings seems tough so far but I’m staying optimistic and reaching out to people where I can ie. BP, social media, online groups etc.

The downside of taking post licensing right now is that I work full time as an engineer and on my spare time I try to lead gen... do you think post licensing outweighs the work I can put in now?

@Will Kaufmann I haven’t started CE yet because I just joined a few weeks ago.. I’m with KW realty in Cary. I’d love to connect to a fellow BP realtor!

@Ryan Daigle I plan to come back ASAP!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to get the word out that I am now a licensed broker in the Raleigh area of North Carolina! Although I don't own any investment properties yet, I have a network of support from other investors, and I have read a lot of the BP books. Keep me in mind if you're looking to buy or sell!

Hey, I’m looking for feedback from anyone who has gone to the Lee Arnold 3 day tour. A coworker recommended it to me and he’s on the second step in their 4 step cycle. Wondering if it’s worth my time before I reserve a hotel. Thanks!

@Patrick Menefee

I totally agree. This is why I’m in the process of getting my real estate license. I will have it by the end of October/early November. I plan to find deals for investors and add value that way in order to gain access to their network of people and “rockstars”. My only question is what would be the best, first, thing that I should buy, should I save up to brrrr my first house or do the first time home buyers loan and rehab while living in it or go for a small multi like 2-10 units? I like the idea of the first time home buyer loan with 5% down then house hack and rehab idea
