The success demonstrates how Partner Driven’s model works for partners at every level of experience.

Charlotte’s been strong overall with steady population and job growth driving rental demand, but appreciation has cooled to more moderate levels 2–4% range  compared to a few years back.

For long-term rental investment, consider cities with strong income levels and reasonable housing costs, such as New Brunswick.I''m sure you'll find many investor friendly real estate agents here in BP, that would be more than happy to help navigate the market.

My issues with RentRedi have not risen to the level requiring immediate action. 

@Denise CarringerMy preference is to go local - some community banks offer this type of service or local escrow companies, which is what I found, because they offer a higher level of service than most national.

Right now wholesalers are mainly doing:SMS TextingCold CallingDirect Mail / PostcardsThe “next level” is PPL (Pay-Per-Lead) through lead generation companies, so you’re only paying for conversations that raise their hand.Most people start by pulling lists of sellers in distress (pre-foreclosure, tax liens, probate, divorce, etc.) and then stacking those lists so you’re not just hitting one pain point but several.On top of that, a few other things are working well right now:PPC / Google Ads – motivated sellers often search “sell my house fast” before answering cold outreach.Facebook/Instagram Ads with strong local targeting.Driving for Dollars apps (batchdriven, dealmachine) paired with skip-tracing to hit niche properties others might miss.Follow-up systems – 70% of deals come from nurturing leads over time, not just first contact.What seems less effective today:Bandit signs (cities are cracking down, saturation is high).Generic postcard campaigns without a targeted or consistent follow-up strategy.Mass cold email (deliverability has dropped a lot).The real key is consistency + multi-channel.

We treat it with the same level of effort as if we're leasing with the intent to manage - set criteria, fast replies and scheduling/showing, thorough vetting, etc. 

At a high level, 5+ units is no different than a single family. 

I would want to see average household incomes north of $75k/yr to support that rental level and leave people space to eat.d) my perception of a small, cheaply built house in a marginal area is you won't see much appreciation, using you $200k new construction example. 

Looking forward to meeting and connecting with any level of potential assistance in my projects going forward.
