High leverage coupled with cyclical markets, low reserves, bad locations, under-capitalized properties, short-term debt, low cash flow, no value add, or some combination of these items is where owners get in trouble.

This property is located in Charlotte, NC not far from the city's center.Is there somewhere I can contact to assist with mortgage payoff since its such a small amount?

Hi Matt, I have consulted with Sterling Bank (cupertino, daly city location..) couple times and I really like them.

I am about to start a flip in Rockford and am having trouble locating a good roofing contractor. 

They are all co-located in the same neighborhood and though it's located in the middle of the city, it happened to be on just enough of a high ground to avoid flooding.

Hey all, approaching the end of my first deal. I'm honing in on several houses between two markets in Northeast Philadelphia. Fishtown is a cool little town with rents in the high $1k to low $2k. Just about everything...

Rules regarding size and location vary so you'll need to check that if this is available at all. 

Feel free to reach out if you need assistance locating this one.

However, I'm looking to change that.Due to my location, I've been following discussions, podcasts, etc. on long-distance investing and am quite excited by the prospect of not being geographically bound to a certain market.

Mike,Do you live in the same state as where the property is located?
