@Laura YelinI’ve never been, but when considering new markets I usually just fly there and spend a few days there scoping it out.

The Charlotte rental market is experiencing significant shifts, and it’s raising some important questions for both investors and property owners.

Just wondering can you ever catch a great deal on the market  and if so what’s stopping you from taking advantage?

I have had many conversations with her friends about the differences in our markets and  have recognized for a while now that there may be some mutually beneficial opportunities to work with Canadian investor specifically. 

Also, how'd you narrow down your search to these two markets? 

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

Finding great off-market deals can feel like a needle-in-a-haystack challenge.

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

In many ways, this is the best market for buyers in Austin in years.

Buy on market, nothing wrong with that.
