@Marcos Zavaleta yes, of course! Always looking to connect with a wholesaler. Message me.

@Marcos Zavaleta hey Marcos, there is a bunch of great meetups in Charlotte. My firm even hosts a pint and properties where we get together to discuss real estate investing over a brew. Check them out!

I also am a investor/agent in the Charlotte area and help investors secure sound investments in this HOT market we’re in. Specifically, Airbnb’s where the return is much greater! Would love to help/chat.

Just researched Luke Carls Enemy method, seems like a proven way to analyze STR. I can understand that the pigeon forge/gatlinburg market is blowing up, however, the prices have not inflated to a point that STR's are no longer working.Yet. I have analyzed multiple STR in that specific area out of my interest in the market and a large portion of them have come up with great results. I suggest you keep digging, it's a fantastic market. I use AIRDNA to get my data to analyze short term rentals. It shows the average occupancy, daily rate and average revenue for FREE. if you get a membership, it gives you even more specific data like seasonality, revenue growth etc. per the specific zip code you're buying in. Check it out and good luck, Guy!

@Jordan M. If both are profitable, I’d suggest going with the one that is MORE profitable. Study the sub markets that you’re interested in religiously. Once you find one market you want to focus on build a good team of knowledgeable trustworthy people based there. Most importantly, find a qualified agent that knows their market well, works with investors regularly, and knows how to run the numbers. Oh, and actually knows what a cap rate is.

Do your research.

Good luck, Jordan!

@Dean DeMattia congratulations Dean! There is nothing like getting the first property under your belt.

Good luck on your journey going forward.

@Kirbi Campbell get 2-4 more short term rentals on the lake near my hometown, with the goal to add 2-6 grand to my passive income per month.

Become real estate agent rookie of the year for Charlotte NC!

@Deisy P. Just because you don’t have a man standing by you doesn’t mean you are completely crippled. When it comes to the real estate industry you are going to find men that will try to take advantage over the average women with no construction experience. How we combat that is having the research and knowledge they can’t dispute.

Make sure to get a few quotes from different people/companies. I’d say 2-5, watch out for sky high - super low ones. Pick the middle ground and make sure to do some research into the handyman/contractor you choose. One guy screwing you over isn’t worth calling your whole real estate investment journey quits. You’ve got this!!

@Kirbi Campbell buy two more properties adding $1,000-2,000 in passive income per month through short term Airbnb rentals. After already having one Airbnb on the lake near my hometown my goal is to buy two more there.

Oh, and become rookie Real Estate Agent of year for Charlotte, NC!

@Yashank Choksi hey! My firm hosts an awesome investor meetup called pints and properties. They meet once a month in various breweries across Charlotte to discuss investing in real estate. Message me for more details.

@Troy Froistad LVP! Cheap, resistant and tenants love it. For a fraction of the cost of hardwoods LVP serves up hardwood looks/feels and durability. Simply can’t go wrong with it!
