Charlotte has a solid network of investors, and there are definitely a few meetups that could be a great fit. 

Partner Driven values deals that allow us to maximize returns with low overhead, and this project with Archie Raglin perfectly fit that strategy.

If you're looking to scale wisely, I'd be happy to discuss financing options that fit your goals, whether it's DSCR or Hard Money loans that focus on rental income for qualification or other strategies geared toward scaling your portfolio! 

For example, on what I thought was a relatively simple project in a bathroom reno which was fully gutted down to the studs already, I had more than one quote for over $7k to run pex supply lines and rough in a shower drain and toilet drain off of an existing main stack, all of which ended up costing me about $200 in pex lines, PVC fittings, and sawzall blades.If you need any hardwood flooring repaired, patched, or refinished, you can't beat Dave's Hardwood Flooring out of Blaine - $3k spent with them fully brought one of my duplex unit's original 100+ year old maple floors back to life.If you're putting in any stone counters in your kitchens or for bathroom vanities, Twin City Discount Granite have been awesome to work with, and consistently have the best pricing I've found in the area on fully installed granite and quartz.I also have a great drywall guy, as well as a really good carpet install guy - feel free to DM me if you want either of their contact info!

I know that a lot of folks want to be more hands-on in properties they own and that this isn't a model that will be a fit for everyone.

I love my job and don't plan to leave anytime soon So I'm looking to invest in something that fits my schedule.

I was fitting this into an awkward schedule.The Facebook group was welcoming and fun to lurk and read posts, getting a feel for the community.Contracts in the document library were great – but overwhelming (you’ll see this phrase a lot)This was a main value for me – hiring lawyers to write contracts without knowing potential pitfalls or where I could/could not protect myself was a major concern.These contracts are worth the price of admission and only available w/in community.These contracts cover Joint Ventures (JVs) between parties, Creative Deals and non-creative deals, WRAPs, RVs, Automobiles, Leas Options, Wholesale Assignments, Hybrid docs and more.I haven’t actually gone through all of them yet.Tens of Thousands of dollars have been spent refining these contracts and just having access to this library was worth the price.

@Adriana Collado Hudak - As the comments illustrate, there is no "one size fits all" answer to this question. 

Even though they are the expert, you still need to ensure they fit you well.
