Quote from @Kai Kopsch:

On small to medium-sized renovations, I collaborate with Amex using their Business Blueprint. This splendid financial tool provides lines of credit ranging from $2,000 to $250,000, with low monthly fees for six-month loans all the way to 24-month loans. 

With Amex Business credit cards, you can get 0% interest for up to a year, 2% cash back, and a welcome offer plus high credit limits without affecting your personal credit utilization.


 Kai.  Apprecaite it and that sounds like it could be a great option for some future purchases that need a decent amount of work.  I see you are from the Charlotte area as well, do you have a contact at Amex that you used for setting everything up?

Hey Everyone!  I have a few seller finance deals that I am currently rehabing and was wondering if anyone had any creative ideas of pulling the renovation money out while still keeping the seller financing loan since they are 0-3% in place.  Below is a general example.

Bought a house for 100K with majority of it being seller financed at 0% for 20 years.  I dumped around 50K into the property and now is worth around 200-220K.  I want to keep the property longterm since its a good rental and the interest rates unbeatable but I want to pull by 10K downpayment as well as renovation budget out of the property.

Has anyone ever had any sucess refinancing a portion of the home while still keeping seller financing in place?  Or have any other creative strateges for pulling the money back out?  Most lenders I spoke with said HELOCS are not an option since there is still a lien on the property.  

Hey everyone,

Starting a new off market mailing campaign in end of August (20K per month) and looking to grow my end buyers list.  If you have any interest in receiving off market properties please send me you contact info.

@Anne Sargeant would be a fantastic STR PM to reach out to. She is a super host and well versed in the Charlotte market.


 Hey Evan.  Who was this account if you dont mind sharing?  Have a few clients looking for MTR managers.

Hey Saajan!

I am a local investor/agent and would love to connect and discuss a what you are looking for a little more in depth.  I just sent you a PM with my contact info.

Hey Everyone!

I own an STR in hot springs and the HVAC/Furnace need serviced or possibly replaced. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi @Steve Krause! I'm an agent in NC & SC and am getting started in the STR world. I would love to talk to any clients you may have looking for a cohost. I can send you recs or anything you may need. Just LMK!

That would be awesome!  Are you managing properties or do you just have a few cohosts you have used that you recommend?
Quote from @Joshua Norman:

Thanks @Steve Krause! Do you do investments in the area? Are they friendly with off-market transactions?


 I don't currently have any in the area but I'm a full time agent so most of my clients do and several have been off market deals that they were able to help out with.

I use Norwood/Armstrong/Stokes for all my closings for the past 3 years and they have been fantastic
