Re-planted myself here in CLT 7 years ago.

My vision is for this meetup to be informal and organic.

Hey Alaina,I love the vision you and your husband have!

I love to think about my vision in the ABZ format:A = Where am I right nowB = What is my most important next stepZ = What's my final destinationI try to avoid thinking or worrying about cdefg, which is almost exactly what you are doing! 

I’d love to hear about your vision and share ideas as we both grow in this space.

Think about where this country was 200 years ago and compare it to now.

There is also Niagara Falls, Ontario which seems to have a more consistent flow of visitors throughout the year.

@Alex Silangyes, i will buy - but only to BRRRR, or on seller financeand only if the numbers workmade 2 offers toward the end of last year on potential BRRRRs and got outbid. 

Even though your Realtor might be good and helpful their ultimate goal is to get the house sold and no one will see the vision you have set for yourself, in the same light that you will.

- FYI: it's only illegal to try to rent it out, the property owner can usually legally live in a nonconforming basement unit.If you do all this you may still negatively cashflow each month, so make sure your income can cover and/or your cash reserves.If you do this successfully, you will learn more in 1-2 years than you would reading here on BP for 5+ years:)Good luck:)
