Hello @Austin EadsYou definitely have the right frame of mind in seeking a mentor - a seasoned local investor can be invaluable in helping you learn the tricks of the trade here.I definitely struggled to find some great mentors myself, however, and I think that my experience could perhaps be of value to you!

Our subs are doing the work and are licensed in their respective trades, be we need the general permit.Thanks for any recommendations!

As someone living in Korea and keeping up with the news, I know that China is having problems and since China is Korea's biggest trade partner, that affects the Korean economy.I was listening to an analyst talk recently about the Chinese economy and how there's more capital flight as the Government cracks down on 'anti-corruption laws' and has jailed a few prominent investors.

From my understanding, 1031's are designed to trade up like kind income property.   

0% offers come directly from the credit card companies not through an agency, hopefully you haven't been scammed into giving your credit card information in trade for some checks that will bounce.If you can provide additional information on which credit card you are having difficulty with or in your words trying to circumvent or what your goals are I can help you.

@Phung N.as an aside, your $50 repair requirement is actually an illegal/unenforceable contractual clause in the state of NC and has no weight whatsoever. 

And if there is a problem down the road with the person in the house, you can call me and I will talk to them about what their problems are and see if I can't fix the problem...know if I can do all of that for you, do you care what I make on this deal, because sometimes I run into homesellers that are really selfish and they want their problem solved for free, and I don't work for free, so tell me, if I can deliver the solution for you, give you peace of mind with this problem is solved, do you have any problem whatsoever of me making a fee to get this job done?"

I might get 10%, but I'm also spending more money to get it there so it's a trade off and it is a risky one.

Would love to connect and trade ideas!
