Now, my kids are 12, 15, and 15 (twins), and I'm an active real estate agent in Pinehurst, NC. 

Thats why i wake up each day excited about working rentals here.

@Josh LansberryIt’s exciting that you’re ready to take action in the Raleigh/Research Triangle market, an area with strong growth potential.

Material participation in the rental activities still required. 

It took more than a decade but I am excited (and terrified) to re-enter the fray.After dipping my toes into the market, I have battled against my paralysis and taken the leap. 

I was really excited to be a real estate investor but having 3 out of 4 tenants break leases and cause excessive property damage as well as unexpected turnover cost from excessive damage, is making want to get out.Thank you for your any input you would like to share. 

I’m actively seeking to purchase either a multi-family or duplex unit in the Columbus area  for a medium rehab project. 

New blood in the forum is always exciting.. what's your top strategy for finding hidden deals?

Hey @Delroy Watson - We've done similar projects, and they are exciting and challenging. 

I'm excited to be here and can't wait to bounce ideas off some like-minded individuals!
