Thanks to you active members for making this a great place.I'm in the process of closing on my first investment property.

I discuss my RE with my brother that is also an active investor and a few investor buddies.

I've been looking for a while and this past weekend, I looked at 3 houses.

I looked at 3 mobiles all under $1500 last weekend.

Our schedule for the remaining of the work is:sheetrock crew to repair and install sheetrock where needed; install all trim work and paint all interior rooms;tile bathrooms, install cabinets and new toilets and fixtures;install new kitchen cabinets;install new appliances;carpet crew to install carpet;clean yard of debris, trim shrubs and trees;paint exterior trim of house;new front door and light fixtures.Working at night after work and on weekends for our part we expect to be finished by late March.

Problem is that takes a lot of cash.””I have a substantial amount of cash available; I’m not really sure how to take on purchasing commercial property and building, e.g. a small business complex.Last Saturday I went home for my b-day to spend time with my family, while the weekend pass my family proceeded to show me what has been built, since I left four years ago.

Become a property manager that thinks and acts like an owner would, and I'm sure you will develop many satisfied clients.As for marketing for clients, I would recommend becoming an active member in your local Real Estate Investment Clubs.

I have been interested in Charlotte, but as noobdog1 mentioned the appreciations seems stagnant, yet there seems to be a lot of continuous activity.

Look forward to hearing from you have a great day and weekend!

Have a Great Weekend !
