@Abhi Golhar when are you back town? Would love to get together and talk shop!

@Manolo D. that's a great tip thanks a million! Plus it will give me at least some reassurance that the project is being executed appropriately! Thanks for the vote of confidence as well, I'll keep you updated on how it goes!

Hey @Danny Rosario. First off welcome to the Charlotte market and you're already off to great start but getting active in the forums. You've got some great questions that I would say don't have simple straight forward answers in some regards. There is a local REIA tonight in Charlotte with a lot of investors who thus a lot of experience (I am in no way affiliated with said REIA thus I recommend it because I think its a good place to learn not for personal profit). Outside of that I can't speak to the success of bandit signs but a fellow BPer and local buddy of mine Abraham Steele-Jones was just telling me last night about some recent success with bandits so maybe he can be helpful.

Cheers

Thanks @J Scott for the feedback. I am going I am certainly tip-toeing my way into this one and you may be right I may not be ready yet. I'll keep my eyes open and see what my area structural engineers have to say about this type of rehab (which I fully expected to have to shop out to a more experienced outfit) but I wouldn't be such a big fan of yours or a true BPer if I wasn't at least mildly ready to take a big risk! Thanks again I'll let you know how it rolls!

Good Morning BP Nation,

So my partner and I recently vetted what could be a property that kinda becomes that "flagship" property. You know the one you always look back on and feel like thats when the tide turned. Currently is a huge space with tons of potential but a layout that truly baffles me! I mean guys on the MLS is was listed as being 1.5 stories (whatever that is supposed to mean). We are steadily coming up with various design plans to modernize the space and make it more functional but given that the existing structure is so "different" I was wondering if you guys ever call in structural engineers for some of the larger scale rehabs? We're talking about "flipping around" a fireplace, "bumping an exterior wall back 5 feet", and a host of other uncommon rehab moves, so we want to make sure we're not biting off more than we can chew so to speak. What is the consensus on structural engineers? Has anyone in the Charlotte North Carolina area ever used one? If so at what point do you realize "ok we need to bring in bigger guns here"?

As always thanks everyone for the insight!

@Matt Mimnagh welcome to BP and soon to Charlotte. As others before me have said BP is a WEALTH of knowledge and by far my most trusted and well used resource. Post early and often there is someone here who can answer your question and it wouldn't be me if I didn't plug the podcast. Best of luck to you!

Cheers

LOL @Nasar Elarabi and this cheap labor approach! But hey we're all hungry investors so you really should make it BYOT (bring your own tools). Just set the time but that Saturday is good for me so I'm in!

Thanks @Christina Epps I actually just reached out to a couple of those names you listed. Thanks for the feedback!

Hey BP Nation,

It's been a little while since I posted my own thread but of course when we need something the first place we (or at least I) run to is the Forums! With that said things are progressing well with the Rock Hill SC project some of you have seen me talking about. Wanted to see if anyone has property management companies/teams they would recommend in that area of South Carolina. Being so close to Charlotte I have heard there are some groups that work both sides of the boarder but I always trust recommendations from you guys! Thanks in advance!

Cheers

I'm in! @Nasar Elarabi I would love to see one of your projects just because so hosting us there would be amazing!
