Hey @Buck Dabill, let's back up a second.

Let Me know 

Just a heads up this will not be tax free, it will be a pro-rated exclusion.

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

Hi, I had a painter who seems inexperienced who painted my house( referred by one other good handyman who gave up after taking half advance saying he got big projects cannot do these small jobs).

I have a few people interested in investing with me strictly as cash partners.  

I tried a few systems recently, but Smarter Contact has worked well for me so I am not changing it to anything else.

There are tons of strategies, pick one that excites you and run with it until you have mastered it and then you can decide to pickup another strategy.

many of the investors that I work with have found these deals beat anything else they find on the market.Best of luck in NC, and let me know if you want more info.
