Our local North Carolina team is growing rapidly and we will soon be opening a full time real estate investor office in the area. 

My office is on Broad Street. 

We've found that we can apply for at least 2 loans at the same time from our bank which is a small, local credit union as long as we have the down payment, tax returns, etc. so it makes sense to ask the loan officer you are working with whether they will do 2 or more property purchases at the same time.

Am not an expert on this but here are possible first steps:;Dont just drive by, When you see potential candiate property, stop and ask questions from the neighbours, search the net for the last transaction on the property, visit the county office for available city records..etc.

I can recommend a loan officer for the 203K's if you want to pick his brain.Hopefully I'll see you at the next SJREIA meeting!

I was up to $115,000 and I left my office.

In a large city there may be a Dept of Buildings, while in a small town there may be only one codes enforcement officer.

The loan officer said that could be the cause if the majority of the work is not done upfront, like getting all the documents up front.

Hi @John Lee and @Robert AdamsHere is the information on the REI meeting tonight August 13th, 2015 at Gavish Real Estate office 6585 High Street, Las Vegas, NV, 89113.

Rest assured, there are great opportunities that are available - I myself am a tax sale investor.Finally you would find out about the tax sales (in most cases) from the county tax office (tax assessor, treasurer, etc...)
