Hi Geetha,The NCREIA meetups in Raleigh and Charlotte are a fantastic choice—they attract real estate operators at every level, so you're definitely in the right place to build connections!

Our family owned operation has been in business for over 10 years.

@Kristin Solbachjust to confirm... do you want to be an STR owner and operator?!

Hi all,I'm sure some have heard of the properties being built by Clifton Homes:Location: 9440 N Adrian AveThey are a fully vertically integrated operation (prop mgmt, construction, and financing).This is their deal:Cash in:  $50K6-8 months later:One time refinance to put a long term mortgage on it at or around 75% which gets your $50k back + 16%.

Some strategies to consider:Networking with wholesalers: Many off-market properties don’t make it to the MLS, so connecting with wholesalers who operate in OKC can be a great way to access these deals.

I am also an operator with 25 Airbnb listings (some that I own others that I manage). 

Operations and systems are my thing.

As an out of state operator, I like having the added protection of the waivers but using one or the other or both is really up to your comfort level.

I know a great MTR operator, Linda Allen, in your area.

Because honestly, at one point, I considered his offer and was afraid of the possibility that if I didn't accept I'd be taken to court and be responsible for putting my children on the street, and I can see those types of scare tactics and resulting emotions being enough to scare someone into complying with a transaction no matter how laden it is with misrepresentation, non disclosure and fraud it could be.Again, I don't know if I misunderstood the laws and regulations or not, I could be wrong.
