Hey everyone, hope all is well in the forums. I originally posed this question in another forum a few days ago, but was hoping another one may provide some additional help.  I'm interested in potentially placing some bids on some properties that are in the foreclosure/auction process in Mecklenburg County in NC but am unfamiliar with how the due diligence process works compared to a typical property purchase.

Does anyone have insight into this?  Are bidders allowed to inspect the property prior to or after placing bids/having bids accepted? Basically, concerning foreclosures and auctions, what ducks do I need to make sure are in a row?  I'm assuming these properties are sold as is, but am wondering some ways to go about having a solid due diligence process. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Don Harris - I actually heard Ki speak in Greenville about the new tax bill and its impact on real estate investors. He’s a wealth of information. Thank you for the reminder! Will be reaching out to him as well.

Everyone, thank you all for the recommendations.  Seems like there is a fair amount of consensus here!  Will be reaching out in the near future to each firm.  Thanks again!

Hello,

I'm wanting to form a real estate LLC and looking for both a CPA and law firm that have experience with real estate investors in the Charlotte, NC area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you,

Jason Young

@Jon Bachman - I appreciate you reaching out.  Currently I am working with an agent in the area and would like to honor that opportunity.  If circumstances do change though I will certainly reach out to you for more information.  Thanks again for contacting me and hope your 2018 is off to a great start!

@Robert A. - Thanks for the tip, I will definitely check out the free trial.

@Tookie Nemchak - It'd be great to connect with you and discuss the upstate SC market and gain your insights into some other aspects.  Do you have an email address or other form of communication that you prefer to use?  Look forward to connecting soon.

@Tookie Nemchak, We are looking in the entire upstate South Carolina region to include west of Greenville.  

I really appreciate the information from everyone.  The advice has definitely given me something to consider moving forward.  

@Graham Howell, thank you for suggesting List Source and the virtual assistant route for organizing and inputting my information.  I'm looking more into this tonight for sure.

@Aaron Lovett, in your experience, how expensive have these lists generally been to purchase?  I'd love to save some time, but also some money too :) 

@Steve Milford, there are definitely some MLS listed properties I've seen that have been available for some time. I'm currently working with a local agent and I'll be sure to ask him about these properties.

Thanks again for the feedback everyone!

Hi everyone,

I just initiated my BiggerPockets Pro account and am excited to learn from the community as my wife and I begin our real estate investing journey.  Wanted to reach out and see if anyone had any advice on their own processes for finding a first property.  My wife and I are looking to invest throughout the Carolinas and have begun driving around for properties primarily in the Upstate South Carolina area to begin our search.  We've found some great potential areas and properties (none listed for sale), but are wondering if anyone has any ideas on an efficient process of organizing our contact information as we are looking to send out mailers and make phone calls.  It seems like the best resource has been the county websites to find property owner addresses, but logging this is a very tedious process.  Does anyone have any advice on how they've searched for and logged this type of information?  

Thanks everyone!
