Sometimes a quick second set of eyes helps uncover an option that didn’t show up at first.— Christian

I’m seeking attorney recommendations in NC for business/contract disputes involving rental platforms or payment processors.

Your next step should involve choosing a particular market that suits your needs.

I need to understand what is happening in the borrowers' lives if I can...particularly if there is delinquency involved.

For instance, when I find a potential deal, I'd love to have experienced eyes review it (I know my rookie eyes might be blind to some key insights).A bit about me: I'm 24, working as an aerospace engineer at Boeing with no debt and solid savings/investments set aside.

Today those properties are some of my best performing rentals and reopened my eyes to long term rental ownership.Everything I do is still heavy value add or ground up development but holding long term has changed how I underwrite and design projects compared to a scenario where the real estate is sold immediately after completion.First, I can justify using higher quality and more durable fixtures and materials.

I’ve been focused on small to mid size multifamily and value add projects, and I’m now looking to expand into Columbus.I’m specifically looking to connect with investors who are actively involved in 20+ unit multifamily properties in the Columbus market.The goal is not to pitch deals, but to build relationships with people who are already operating there so we can exchange local knowledge, property management companies, lenders, brokers, contractors, and other key resources.

I'm not doing too much in Florida these days, just lightly involved (hands off as an LP) in a multifamily property in Jacksonville. 

Get your local police and state attorney general involved. 

The role isn’t to manage vendors—it’s to prevent non-compliant work from reaching you.A proper gatekeeper function does a few things reliably:Confirms the caller is an approved vendorVerifies insurance, scope, and access instructionsEnsures required info is on file before work beginsRoutes true exceptions instead of every questionOnce vendor calls were filtered and handled against predefined rules:Fewer “urgent” calls that weren’t urgentLess rescheduling due to missing paperworkVendors showed up more preparedMy involvement dropped to edge cases onlyThe biggest benefit wasn’t speed—it was predictability.
