There was another meeting in the area on Thursdays but I'm tied up that night.

IE properties tied up that never close ,  profiteering and then just taking people that have no experience other than reading a little on Bp and listening ot a pod cast and then think they are a wholesaler  LOL. 

As the economy continues to grow and the real estate market grows stronger I have began seeking out other aspects of real estate.

More specifically, I would like to focus on Columbus since their seems to be a stronger market there.  

I have ties to both NC and SC, but live in Dallas, TX currently.

Yes our overall Canadian economy is heavily dependent on oil dollars but markets across Canada vary greatly along with many other factors.Also Asian investment is getting stronger not weaker and much of this investment is long term meaning even if this slows down the market will simply hold or fluctuate maybe 5% and then climb again. 

I am need of a Hard Money Loan or other creative loan to purchase this property as most of my cash is tied up in my 3 other properties with the first available refi that makes since not available until October (6 month waiting period of last property loan)Here are the quick specs:For Auction this week - Starting bid allowed = $20,000.

Such as all the lights in the units are tied to one breaker.

I would flip it but my funds are tied up in a different deal at the moment.

And the purpose of offering cash is to make your offer stronger and more appealing to the seller.If the question is what makes the most sense financially, then you'd have to weigh what you'd be losing on investment gains against what you'd be paying in interest to borrow.
