Since you have no experience- network and find the most active fix and flip investors in Charlotte, Raleigh or Greensboro. 

Yet there are now more actively licensed real estate agents than ever before.

Liquidity: If this is your first or second property, prioritizing liquidity (by cashing out now) might allow you to seize unexpected opportunities, especially if you’re actively prospecting deals.Since you don’t have a deal lined up yet, you might explore options to minimize the gap, like prequalifying potential deals or using short-term financing strategies to bridge the 4 months.Good luck growing your portfolio!

Quote from @Sebastian Bennett: I've been actively using BiggerPockets for over a while, have been educating myself and attending a lot of networking events.

My name is Peter, and I am an investor actively seeking to connect with like-minded individuals and groups in the investment community.

The real trick is making sure you’ve got a handle on who’s active in your target area.

Here in TN brokerages regularly hold EM deposits; I have a dedicated account for such deposits myself, by law, even though I don't actively broker RE but just maintain my brokerage for the PM side of things.

I have seen quite a bit of activity over the past handful of years.

Active real estate investing doesn’t seem to float my boat.

Hi Brandon,Personally I think it all depends on what kind of "avatar" you are.If you have high risk tolerance and have time to spend, active strategies like flips and BRRRRs will yield better returns and more opportunities.
