Good afternoon BiggerPockets family,
I hope everyone’s 2025 is off to a fantastic start! Reflecting on the past year, I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunities I’ve had and excited for the journey ahead.
In 2024, I focused on the Charlotte, NC market, completing 21 deals in my first year of taking consistent action. These included cash buys for flips, seller financing, and subject-to deals. For those just starting out: keep taking consistent action and small steps. Momentum builds over time, and I promise things will start falling into place.
This year, I’m expanding into Columbus, Ohio! My wife and I plan to purchase a few properties ourselves, but with the lead generation strategies I’ll be implementing, I expect to come across more deals than we can personally handle.
That’s where you come in! I’m looking to connect with other investors and buyers in the Columbus area. Whether you’re looking for creative financing opportunities or cash deals, I’d love to bring you potential deals that align with your goals. I’m actively working on agent outreach and direct-to-seller approaches and would love to collaborate or learn more about your investing criteria.
This community has been such a tremendous resource for me, and I’m eager to give back by helping others find great opportunities in Columbus. Let’s connect, share insights, and grow together!
Feel free to reply here or DM me—I’d love to learn more about your investing strategies and see how we can help each other succeed.
Wishing you all a successful and prosperous 2025!
Welcome Charles! Columbus Ohio is a great market to still find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and has huge appreciation potential. I tell this to all of my investors - whatever you buy in Columbus Ohio, you want to hold for the rest of your life! It's an amazing market here with so much incoming growth due to population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here! Happy to connect and help out any way i can and would love access to any deals you have!
Jimmy this is very good to hear! Sounds like I am in the right market for what I am looking for both personally and professionally. I'll send you a DM and we can connect there. Thank you so much

@Charles - use Harry Marsh Law, or now I believe they rebranded to 24 Hour Title? Both are great options and service the entire state of NC. Quick turns. Good prices. And most importantly they are familiar with what you are trying to do.
Yes that is what they are called now! Thank you for the info on them - I love that they are knowledge about what we are trying to do. Very much appreciated :D

Hey Charles,
In NC we don't have the traditional "title company" we are one of the few attorney states. I am a realtor/investor here in Wilmington, by far my two favorites are the Law Office of J. Chris Huff, and Jeff Porter is another good one. Chris Huff is super knowledgeable on the investor side of things, and he's who I use 90% of the time. Happy to help out with any other local vendors you may need anytime! Let's connect and I'm happy to send you deals as they come as well.
Amazing thank you so much for the recommendations - I definitely will reach out here soon!

My partner and I are looking for any recommended title companies in the Charlotte, Raleigh, and Wilmington areas. We are looking to do wholesale, SubTo, and seller finance deals in those areas. Any title companies with experience in these types of transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!
