I've learned to push the limits while still being polite, and to find ways to make our needs match those of the seller.We set ourselves up for success in the competitive real estate market by learning how to negotiate, figuring out why sellers do what they do, and using good methods.

Look at their marketing strategy.

In our opinion, an investor should only work with agents that meet at least one of the following:1) Own rentals themselves for at least 3 years, at least one of them they bought below market.2) Have a 3-5 year track record of rental transactions, that they can document.3) Know how to calculate 1% Rule, ROI, NOI, etc. and demonstrate how to actually apply them to assist an investor client.4) Have access to tired investors selling their rentals.5) (what can you add here?)

I would be happy to talk with you more about the Charlotte STR market and help you determine the revenue potential for your property. 

I could raise their rents to market and recoup the cost of the repair, but honestly, of the rentals I own, only two have AC.

These are some buzz RE asset classes that are all relatively affordable and on market throughout the State.

Long story short, it is easier to cashflow in this market. 

Looking to network to understand the market more.

@Jacob Cuellar I would start by thinking about what form of marketing you can consistently do for 5-6 months.

I live in NYC but open to a lot of the mid-west/central markets given lower entry price.If you're looking to get started like myself, or even wants to invest together - feel free to reach out!
