Lately, I've been seeing more opportunities off-market—probates, FSBOs, wholesalers sending decent spreads—but every investor I talk to has slightly different buy boxes.

For those of you actively buying, what’s your non-negotiable when it comes to criteria? (Price-to-ARV ratio, neighborhood class, repair limits, etc.)

I’m always curious to compare notes, especially since I work with a few buyers who are super-specific.

One thing I see newer investors overlook all the time: the opportunity to profit twice on one property.

I work closely with a few investor clients where we source under-market deals, they handle the renovation, and then I relist the finished product for top dollar. Same house → two paydays.

Curious—are more investors here using the same agent for both acquisition & resale, or do you split that up? What’s worked best for you?

Hey everyone!
Excited to finally jump into the BiggerPockets community and connect with like-minded investors. I’m a licensed realtor based in North Carolina, working closely with wholesalers, flippers, and investor-friendly lenders. I’ve been involved in sourcing off-market deals, helping investors list flips, and constantly learning more about development opportunities.

My main focus is building solid relationships with active investors, learning from others’ strategies, and seeing where I can bring value (whether that's finding deals, sharing insights, or collaborating).

Looking forward to learning from you all, and always open to chatting with anyone investing in NC or who’s been in the game longer than me—would love to soak up some wisdom!

I’ve been noticing some shifts in the NC market lately—especially with buyers being a bit more selective and rehab costs fluctuating.
Would love to hear from others:

• How are you adjusting your flip or buy & hold strategies?
• Any trends you’re paying close attention to?

I work closely with wholesalers and investors here, and I’m always curious how other people are navigating things.

Hey everyone!
Wanted to open up a conversation and share a few insights I’ve picked up working alongside wholesalers and flippers here in North Carolina.
One of the patterns I’ve noticed: deals tend to move faster when there’s better communication between all parties involved (wholesalers, agents, contractors, lenders, etc.).

Curious—what’s your experience been working with teams in your market?
What do you think makes a deal process smooth vs chaotic?

Always looking to exchange ideas and learn from fellow investors!
