I would recommend doing a value add deal if you have done extensive analysis on the deal before hand. I would use the BP tool to analyze a fix and flip project. Then I would go out in your local market and verify all the numbers that you have estimated and I would do all of this before you close on a property. Take as much risk as possible away from the deal.

I am in LA too and invest only out of state. I look at the jobs, major employers, population, owner occupancy rates, crime. There are many things to look at. 

Where are you looking to invest?

I live in LA and invest only out of state. I form a new LLC for all of my properties and form the LLC in the state of Wyoming and Nevada.

For marketing help I would recommend watching some of the videos that gary vaynerchuk has done online. These videos will help you think about marketing in a whole new way.

Welcome to BP and Charlotte is a very good market. 

What are your long term goals? Are you looking to invest in just Charlotte or invest out of state as well? I live in CA and only invest out of state in many markets around the USA. Would love to show you how I run my business and see if you would like to do the same!

What I have done in the past has been to just go to Zillow.com and then go to the agents section. There you will find a list of hundreds of agents. I would just begin calling those agents until you find what you are looking for.
