@Greg Parker 

Thanks for sharing this! I’ll dive into the Montgomery market insights and start digging into the numbers. Appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

@Nick Chambers 

Hey Nick, really appreciate you sharing this! I’ve been really interested in Charlotte, so it’s great to hear your perspective on the market and what’s working. I’ll definitely look into CREIA and the local groups. Would be glad to connect, either by phone or when I make it out there. Grabbing coffee and hearing more about your experience managing 100 doors and investing locally would be awesome. Appreciate the offer!

@Chris Blevins 

Thanks for sharing that, super helpful to hear from someone local. I’ve heard both pros and cons about Chattanooga, so your perspective on the traffic and infrastructure is good to know. Huntsville sounds really promising with the growth and industry moving in. I’ll definitely dig deeper into that market. Appreciate the insight!

@Syed Ahmed Thanks Syed, that’s super helpful. I like the idea of balancing small flips/BRRRR with multifamily to build both experience and cash flow. I’ll start checking out Meetup groups and REI events on my trips out. Would love to the opportunity to connect and hear more about your experience in the Southeast markets and talk strategy. Appreciate it!

Hey BiggerPockets Family,

I’m 24 and have been helping manage about 75 doors (SFHs + small multis) for the past year in Los Angeles. Property management has given me a solid foundation in operations, but I’m eager to grow further and transition into the deal side — especially flips, acquisitions, and long-term holds.

I’m planning to relocate in the next 6–8 months to a strong growth market (Charlotte NC, Greenville SC, Chattanooga TN, or Birmingham AL are on my radar). In the meantime, I’d love to connect with investors in these markets. I’ll be making short trips (7–14 days), covering my own lodging/travel, to get hands-on experience, see the market up close, and start building relationships before I move.

For those active in these markets:

• If you were starting fresh today, what entry strategies would you lean into (flips, BRRRR, small multis)?

• Which neighborhoods/submarkets stand out as “must-watch” or “must-avoid”?

• What’s the most effective way to plug into the local investing community once I land?

Grateful for any advice and excited to learn from those already building in these markets.

– Will

Hi BiggerPockets Family,

I currently help run the property management side of a real estate/mortgage company in Los Angeles, overseeing ~75 doors (SFH + small multis) for about a year. I'm planning to relocate in the next 6–8 months to go all-in on flips and long-term holds.

My top markets:

• Charlotte, NC

• Chattanooga, TN

• Greenville, SC

• Birmingham, AL

I’d love to create a win-win. I’m happy to fly out for 7–14 days to shadow, learn the market, and help on live projects.

I’m plug-and-play:

• Coordinating subs & vendors

• Walking/evaluating properties

• Filming/editing project updates if useful

I’ll cover travel and lodging, no strings attached.

If that sounds valuable, I’d be glad to jump on a quick call to connect.
