@Whitney Henry hello, and let me be the first to welcome you to bigger pockets ..And to congratulate you on taking the firsts steps that may actually change your way of life forever .. did you just get chills ?

I don't have a ton of experience, only one live in flip, I have managed a handful of small construction projects at a previous employer, I managed the entire engineering park project at my current employer which included construction of an 11,000 sqft pad, a 3500 sqft facility with all necessary plumbing and electrical, I also personally designed an managed the installation of our custom chilled water delivery system that is required for certain tests.

And again, you are living proof of why "previous landlord details" are utterly useless.As for realtors, don't feel bad about dropping them.

I'm a crazy chill cat lady, and that's my cat Loki in my avatar photo.

If your retirement utterly depends on having adequate cash flow from your properties, any downturns will cripple you.

While I've never had anyone utterly trash a rental of mine, I've seen the damage they can do first hand (typically when buying the rental and seeing what the previous occupants did to it).

@Jack Bobeck I don't think a little snow is going to chill the market in Indy but I agree with you that Florida is where it's at.

So unless it utterly cheap you wont find to many Charlotte buyers interested..

In this medium a person can be vile, vindictive, vulgar, and utter any kind of nonsense from behind the viel of anonymity.

., and that should chill them out.2.
