My goal is future income when I am not earning a paycheck, and paying off the mortgages in the shorter time frame meets that goal. 

She was literally sleeping on a friends couch to get by...I told her come meet my property manager and he will show you the place....this was in a "C" neighborhood by the way......She called the day of the appointment and said, it was just to cold to go look at any places, but in a couple of months "I should call her back".So Lance this is what i would do if I were you1.

Find tenants that are educated, responsible, and meet your requirements.

Feel free to reach out if I can ever help you.I also host the Brevard Real Estate Investors Association meeting.

I would love to meet some private and / or hard money lenders in the Lake Norman, NC area.

Since I'm still dependent on my W-2 income, I'd like to start Part Time as a Listing Agent, meeting customers in the afternoons and on weekends (as well as hosting open houses), until I get a few wins under me - then I can go full time.

We are looking forward to the exchange of information and meeting as many of you as possible.

Also, if there are any people doing fix and flips in the market (or BRRR), I'd love to hear how you're finding it and perhaps meet for a coffee or beer when we're in the city

Have you gone to local REIA meetings/ Those are usually filled with HML's. 

Please let me know if anyone is willing to work with me or meet with me and discuss opportunities.
