Your best investing tool is KNOWLEDGE and understanding values in any market you want to play in --Be careful - listen, but VERIFY everything that is proposed to you by agents, sellers, lenders and others who will benefit from your dollars and decision making skills.Don't let your enthusiasm blur you decision to get involved in real estate.

Love the enthusiasm - Michael, we spoke on my post but I just came across this.

Hi All,I'm new to Bigger Pockets and loving all the information and sense of community and enthusiasm here.

Traditional Vs your Methods: often Folks try to follow traditionally established methods, i see your enthusiasm and ability to experiment. there are risks but you have time to get over the failures but choosing to try other methods. so keep up optimism and try to work out your own ways, based on what you Get from traditional methods. so Always keep ur eyes open.

I love your energy and enthusiasm here, @Taylor Williams! 

Henry, Ummmmm.... love your enthusiasm but, no!

Multifamily is a very exciting industry and I can feel your enthusiasm. 

@Timm Silva, I love the enthusiasm!

This environment is already dampening buyer's enthusiasm. 

Additionally, I am not seeing the same enthusiasm in this forum (or maybe i have missed the posts) towards Charlotte and I have also read enough posts about how the inventory is bought up by the big funds and there is little to no options to invest within and around Charlotte that meets the criteria i shared above.
