Hi Sara,We do see a lot of new construction in NC and SC, but specially in NC.If you’re looking at areas with high demand, Charlotte and the Raleigh-Durham region in North Carolina are definitely worth considering.

But the city has risks too: historic tanneries, dry cleaners, gas stations, garages, workshops, any kind of industrial use - always be suspicious of what people did with chemicals back in the 50s and 60s when the general population had no awareness of the damage I just had to turn down a small development  10  house's or 20 detached as phase 2 found chemicals for the Filbert orchard ( Filberts are hazelnuts ) that was planted 30 years ago.the soil had to be dug down 1 to 2 feet analyzed and hauled to special dump at 3X normal dump fee's.. there is a reason why we do phase 1 and phase 2 and just dont buy this dirt and take on those liabilities.. now to be fair this is for lending purposes is someone want to buy it the county / city would not require the phase 1 or 2 but you take on going risk of someone suing the pants off of you in the future.

Hey Gil,I'm an experienced investor and realtor specializing in the South Bay area.

I have some experience buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

thanks - the above average properties will be seen and snapped up ...if interested in buying another property - get  pre approved so you can be prepared  to make an offer if a good property becomes avaiable - good luck
