Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

I have spoken to a few realtors so far, but I wanted to introduce myself, and eventually be on the lookout for some property management companies, as well as contractors.I have a rental in the Chicago suburbs, and hope to grow in NC, as well as buying a house hack around Asheville.

You're at the point of needing to grow a bit more.

PetrHey Petr, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

I am in search of starting to grow my knowledge and connections in the real estate space.

I look forward to meeting everyone and networking so we can grow and be of assistance to each other.

I’ve seen the city develop and grow a lot over the last 20 years but it’s honestly just as beautiful and diverse.Where in Asheville or Buncombe county you decide to look will basically determine where you’ll be buying in the market.

The idea would be to either fund a HYS/CD/Money market and let it grow, then make the lump sum payment at end of year. 

It leverages the concept of using "other people's money" (in this case, bank financing) to grow your investments.

Our plan is to grow that business on both coast separately.
