Introduction in Raleigh

[Artem Lopatchenko]

Hi all,

long time (religious) listener of the podcasts and also a small time investor (have 5 doors split between Raleigh, NC and Danbury, CT).   At the end of 2020 I purchased a restoration franchise called AdvantaClean that services from Chapel Hill to Fayetteville, Sanford to Dunn which amongst other things specializes in Mold, Water Damage, and Duct Cleaning.   My goal with purchasing the restoration business was to get closer to forced appreciation units and use my own crews to do the mold/water/fire remediation work on destressed properties.  

Looking forward to networking with other investors in the greater Raleigh area as either a contractor or to partner on deals, especially where I can use the advantage of restoration within my area of expertise.   If you are evaluating a property that looks to have water/mold damage and need advice or an opinion feel free to reach out.

@Artem Lopatchenko congrats on the purchase! Are you moving full time into managing that business? I would love to have a conversation with you in the near future about what you are looking for in potential investment properties, I may be able to help.

 Yes I'm running AdvantaClean full time.  Although I'm looking at ways to marry up both the investment side and the expertise that comes with water, fire, mold remediation as well as clean out of hoarding houses.  Which is also the types of properties I'm going to try to focus on, the ones that have the water, odor, mold damage that I can purchase in as-is condition.  Feel free to send me a message and we'll talk more about what I'm looking for. 

Congrats on this! I'm also a CPA, and have my real estate license. I am a small investor and looking to scale and appreciate the background of a CPA to help me analyze deals aggressively. Best of luck!
