Getting engaged in the forums made investing real for me and it jump started my growth as an investor.

I have been told that a good way to do this is to get the tax records for houses bought within the past 6 months or so in the Charlotte area to see who is buying multiple properties.

YouTube and Google are your best friends when you get stuck.Painting and clean up are the easiest, followed by drywall and tiling (drywall requires a lot of patience due to having to use multiple coats of mud), and then comes plumbing and electrical.Get the right tools for the job - a good cordless drill and saw, trowels, paint brushes, etc. the extra few dollars will save you a lot in trips to the store and lost time.

@Karen MargraveThank you for responding, I have been to multiple REI Associations meetings, signed up for Meetup and talked with 14 different real estate agents, even went as far as meeting with them face to face.

We've done radio (for motivated sellers) on multiple stations in multiple markets and we've never broken even on it.

(b) A licensee, when engaging in a real estate transaction on his or her own behalf, on behalf of a business entity in which the licensee is more than a 10% owner, or on behalf of the licensee's spouse, parent, or child, is obligated to disclose in writing to any person with whom the licensee deals that he or she is a licensed real estate broker or salesperson acting on his or her own behalf or on behalf of the licensee's spouse, parent or child in any contract of sale or rental agreement or in any other writing given prior to entering into any contract of sale or rental agreement.

You won't see me boasting and trying to justify my opinions by saying I've been in RE deals for more than 40 years or saying it multiple times throughout the forum threads.

It is a good rendering of below market properties throughout the valley.I like it for my uses and hate to lose that, the monthly price is just over what I comfortably want to pay.My question is: how useful would something like this be to an investor who is purchasing multiple properties a month?

Eventually our goal may be to own multiple properties so i think the llc is the way to go in the long run.

Follow the rehabbing threads closely, listen to the podcasts, engage in the community, and grow your network.Before you know it you'll be ready for your first deal!
