I actually made a decision about 7 years ago to work with Real Estate Investors because I was running into a lot of investors at my club meetings who have had bad experiences or working with CPA's that are not RE savvy.I have also found that "RE EXPERTISE" is more important than "PROXIMITY"

These people are often known as "upside down in Las Vegas" or "upside down in Florida" or wherever they bought that appreciation stopped (and prices may have fallen) after they bought.Best advice is keep reading this (and possibly other) forum to learn all you can about the good and bad of owning both your own house and rentals.Good luckall cash

These investors now own several vacant homes which is bad for us and horrible for them.None of these "investors" asked to talk to me (the seller) before the closing.

Not a bad resume.

It's not bad!

Minna you would be getting your cash flow and a 100% rent to income so with every new house you buy you don’t look bad, you actually look better.

Hello, Please don’t hammer me to bad for my lack of knowledge for what I am about to do.

Charlotte's market is definitely unique and with the influx of people coming here, whether retiring, or for corporate relocation, or just for a change of weather and scenery the sales market isn't as bad here as it is in other parts of the country.

I do understand the dynamics of building somewhat of credit, and even though its hard to believe i'm not the type to get mislead by credit cards. i do understand the concept of good and bad credit, and i also understand that good credit is a key point in being eligible to buy a property, therefore i'm going to have to start soon. thank you and i cant wait for more to respond with advice :) i'm glad i'm here.

It's in a bad neighborhood.
