hello all,

I am looking to begin investing in the Charlotte, NC market and I am looking for an agent that is familiar with real estate investors in Charlotte, NC. I want to get started in buy and hold properties and have a pretty legit gameplan to start working. I have read that a lot if agents are found through other investors so I am reaching out to see if any one has any referrals. I also plan on cold calling a few agencies and attending some local meet ups to network. Does anyone have any good recommendations about how I can locate an agent to work with? I am excited about this endeavor and am looking to get started ASAP. Just need some people to build this business relationship with so we can go out and get a deal done. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you.

Thank you all for your comments. They are appreciated. I realize that we need to come to a win win where we are both satisfied. I have made initiative to make a compromise with him. Thanks for your help! 

this happened yesterday. We had a walk through in which he gave me a check for what he thought was reasonable which in return I went and cashed. Could you please explain what you mean by getting an accounting of the deposit back? 

Hello,

I am currently dealing with a situation in the state of SC where a previous landlord has contacted me and told me he was going to bill me due to the condition of the condo I was renting. He cited things such as the washer/dryer being dirty, a cleaning crew was needed, and a leak behind the fridge. The day I moved out, I had a walk through with him where he wrote me a check for $400 for my security deposit which was initially $500. 

Now he is coming back saying that he is going to bill me when all work is complete and that he expects payment at that time. This is ridicolous, as I felt as if I had cleaned the apartment well enough that anything else would constitute under normal wear and tear.

My question is that, under SC law, since he has already initiated a walk through and given me what he thought was an applicable refund of my security deposit, does that not constitute a done deal?

Is he legally allowed to bill me? I by no means felt as if the condo was left in bad shape, and dont believe that it is near as filthy as he is making it out to be.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks, Al. I'll look to connect with those communities.

Definitely Rock Hill as well as surrounding areas

Anyone have some good advice about where to get started finding a quality real estate agent to help with investments?

Even if you could just tell me how you found the agent you are working with, it could help me with some ideas to find one to work with.

I'm looking to speak with a couple of agents and just need to start searching.

Thank you.

Hello All!

Hope everyone is gearing up for a fabolous 4th of July weekend! My business partner and myself are interested in networking with some local contractors in and around the Rock Hill, SC (29730,29732, 29712, 28273) area. We are looking to begin investing into some single-family homes through rehabbing, flipping, and buy and hold, and were interested in meeting with some local contractors who have experience working within this industry. We pay hard money for the properties and are looking for a contractor who is willing to work with us as we begin this journey in this part of the country.

If anyone has anybody they know or would like to recommend so that we may reach out to them it would be greatly appreciated. I hope everyone has a safe and fantastic holiday weekend.

Best Regards,

Good morning everyone!

I'm Stephen Dickey, a 25 year old recent college graduate who is from Rock Hill, SC! A family member introduced me to this site, and I am ready to soak up as much information and knowledge as I possibly can! I am interested in pursuing a career in real estate investing, and I am getting as involved as possible right now to learn as much as I can. Looking forward to it!
