But, I also knew that I wanted to start replacing carpet in all my units with wood/vinyl/laminate flooring (no more expense of frequent professional cleanings).

I also text frequently with 1-2 others that I met through my local meetups.

I see a lot of posts on Bigger Pockets talking about different hot markets and Charlotte is frequently mentioned.  

These are highly sought after and are frequently bid up and go off market.Personally, I would focus on the areas which are next to the nice areas. 

DIC insurance is designed to fill in gaps in insurance coverage and is most frequently used by larger organizations, looking for protection from catastrophic perils (usually flood, slide and earthquake). 

This particular area/property has less frequent vacancy as units often turnover from one to the other without any loss of days. 

As a wholesaler, they are not an “owner of real estate” per se under the licensing statute, but they do own an interest in real estate by way of the purchase agreement which the wholesaler offers for sale or assignment.If we read the licensing rule in conjunction with the definition of “real estate broker” under Michigan’s occupational code, we find a very broad definition capturing any individual or entity that:…who with intent to collect or receive a fee, compensation, or valuable consideration, sells or offers for sale, buys or offers to buy, provides or offers to provide market analyses, lists or offers or attempts to list, or negotiates the purchase or sale or exchange or mortgage of real estate, or negotiates for the construction of a building on real estate; who leases or offers or rents or offers for rent real estate or the improvements on the real estate for others, as a whole or partial vocation; who engages in property management as a whole or partial vocation; who sells or offers for sale, buys or offers to buy, leases or offers to lease, or negotiates the purchase or sale or exchange of a business, business opportunity, or the goodwill of an existing business for others; or who, as owner or otherwise, engages in the sale of real estate as a principal vocation.One frequent and notable misconception is that if a person only conducts the sale of real estate on their own behalf, as most wholesalers do, they are exempt from licensing.

If it's showing frequently but you're watching others go under contract while yours remains, then buyers are perceiving value elsewhere and it's usually a simple analysis of price, location, and condition compared to others. 

@Lei Zhao I would start with where you have lived, frequented, have family or are familiar with to a degree.

When buying from a wholesaler, you will frequently be dealing with distressed properties (or properties that need at least some work up front before renting).
