Many people say they will wait and never end up doing anything.I was in your shoes 2 years ago, couldn’t find what I was looking for in Tri State area so I decided to go to the market as a novice not knowing anything about Charlotte just the research that I’ve done and planted my roots.What I do is I buy for Positive cash flow now not for the future, I don’t even consider appreciation that’s the icing in the cake a bonus.If I can get the positive cash flow/ return I’m looking for now I pull the trigger.The way I see it when the market turns and becomes a buyer market I will be a more season investor and will be ready to bounce on great deals.

Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to take a little time to break the ice.
