Thank you Joel appreciate your wisdom in the handling of this difficult situation.Gives me a lot of good food for thought.

BUT... there are PLENTY of people that want to sell their house even if the offer is lower.So people thing we just get really food leads...Nope..We get ALL leads.

I am beginning to understand from other posts in these forums as well that the better performing real estate opportunties go against the grain of what is being preached.

. - Housing, utilities and food cost are around 14%, 8% and 6% compared to the national average making it a great place to live for families, college students and people looking to retire.- Charlotte has a high occupancy rate across the state and it’s hard to get tenants into it because if the house is properly marketed and maintained it will rent as quickly as a week or two depending on the price range and the location.- There is a high demand for high quality and reliable single family homes- Charlotte has affordable housing options- The median listing price per square foot is $244.
