@Zachary Steidl, I'll speak to the Charlotte area since it seems a bit under-represented.

I transitioned out of the military several years ago and came here, and I have no experience in the triangle (so I'm biased!).  

Charlotte is great--major airport, lots of sports/activities, drivable to a beach or mountain on a Friday afternoon, hot real estate market.  The city itself is very nice, lots of options for outdoor activities, restaurants, shopping, etc.  There's a diverse job market here that includes banking, manufacturing, healthcare, real estate, and others, which means the real estate market is perhaps a bit more resilient than some other places (not sure about the triangle area).  

CLT has had constant population growth for quite a while, which means continual demand growth for housing. Within the city limits has some pretty expensive (and increasingly so) areas, some pockets of town and the suburbs (Concord, Huntersville, Belmont, etc) are far more affordable and offer better long term rental ROI. Within the city, I think you'll find strong appreciation and solid ROIs for flips/new-builds and short-term rentals.

I can help if you have any CLT-specific questions, feel free to DM me.  I can speak reasonably intelligently on new construction, real estate prices, and short/long term rentals around here (been dabbling in all of the above).

Holly and I plan on attending again!

Don, thank you for the information! I'd love to attend!

@Chris T., have you ever built a SFH in Charlotte? My wife and I are researching and thinking of consulting with a local home builder company (haven't decided on which one yet) on cost to build a SFH or multi-family here. Rent prices seem very strong, so if construction cost is reasonable, it may be a viable option.

Thoughts?  @Lisa Hoover, have you tried this?

@Chris T., Thank you!  I certainly may do that. 

@Lisa Hoover, Thanks for the message!  I actually also read your response to the Dallas investor--thanks for sharing with me.  These are amazing tips. 

My wife and I couldn't make it yet, but we plan to be there at the final reveal!

Dan, we seem to be in a very similar situation. I have one SFH rented and am planning on growing soon while working full-time.

My wife and I just moved to Charlotte from Texas but really love it.  You should come to the meet up on September 5th at the Tap Room in Uptown!

Dave, my wife and I are in!

Curtis & Sara, I am also very interested in Harsh's questions above!

Hello!

I would love to find an experienced investor in the Charlotte, NC area who could use some help with wholesaling or flipping.  I am simply looking to add value to the process in any way possible and expect zero compensation--only experience. 

I'm new to the area but am motivated, organized, and ready to learn. My real-world experience is in the realm of leadership and engineering. I've been reading/watching/listening to BP for a few months now, but have zero experience in the REI world. I will do any REI-related tasks to help!  Take pictures?  Research?  You name it!  My goal is to make more money for you while gaining experience for me.

Please let me know how I may assist you!
