Evan,  As a local broker, I’ve assisted many clients with the entity transfer process, often referred to as a "drop and swap."

As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

Establishing a good local team will be crucial for you. 

I moved to a new state and was curious to see if I should open a new LLC for a new state and if anyone had reccomendations other than a local attorneys office to create one.

The local market has a lot of opportunities, especially if you’re looking into multifamily or creative financing.

For several reasons (property taxes, politics), I would prefer to begin real estate investing somewhere other than locally. 

We have a local competitor that brags they don't charge a maintenance markup, yet we know:1) They charge owners $60/hour for their handyman2) How much do you think they're paying their handyman? 

I am a local realtor in the Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk area and would love to help out if you need any assistance.

Also Cocktails and Real Estate at Patriots place.BP does have a local meetup section which usually has good local options.

I've talked to two local agents about possible price points to list at, but it almost seems like they are pulling numbers out of a hat.
