I’m looking to purchase a house that’s located on a Main Street.

Again I believe this is in direct correlation to your strategy, goals, location, funds you have available, etc.

I own a fleet of vacation rentals in the Scottsdale/ Tempe market and saw an opportunity based on location and upside potential.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Research and define your geographic marketplace, your marketing plan and budget for generating leads, your sources of capital for both operating expenses and funding deals. 

The location, force appreciation, appreciation, and cash flow.

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.
