I spend a couple hours a day driving to and from work so I have plenty of time! 

As I transition the property to a duplex + 2 ADUs, I am considering spending $10K+ to get another master meter put in.

We've sold 65+ homes and the biggest request we get from our Buyers is help with closing costs.Most of our deals we're providing anywhere between $5K-$10K to help Buyers offset the cash requirement to purchase a home.Even in today’s "high" interest rate environment, many Buyers prioritize closing cost assistance over an interest rate buydown.

If you’re in a market where you have to spend money on roofs, or exterior paint that’s ctainly you can save up for.

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

I recently worked on an off-market deal here that turned into a great BRRRR success, proving how the right team and strategy can create equity and cash flow, even from a distance.If you ever need help analyzing deals or navigating the OKC market, I’d love to connect and assist however I can.

You want to have your financial house in order so you know what you CAN afford and what you SHOULD spend.
