Welcome to BiggerPockets and the Chicago real estate community!

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

I am eager to learn the in's and out's of Charlotte residential real estate market as well as gain some experience flipping houses while turning a healthy profit for myself and investors. 

We own a real estate, mortgage, and property management company solely focused on Short Term Rental Investments How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Let’s break this down because there’s a lot to unpack here.The real question is, how well is that debt working for you?

We have considered long-distance real estate too so we can consider other markets too. 

Most of the US real estate market has seen inventory continue to rise with a lot of relisting and stale dated listings, but Valdosta seems to be a “Great White Buffalo” (if you get the movie reference).

I live in Lanham, I am new to Real Estate Investing and looking to connect with local investor.
