I am a licensed general contractor in North Carolina operating out of Shelby NC. I have also been a real estate investor for over 20 years and currently self manage quite a portfolio. Real estate investor and landlord based in Shelby, NC, managing a large buy-and-hold rental portfolio built over the last [#] years. Most of what I've learned came the hard way — bad tenants, costly turnovers, and figuring out each state's landlord-tenant rules on the fly. That experience pushed me to build a set of tools and resources for rental owners: tenant screening, 50-state eviction-law references, deal analysis, and landlord docs. I'm here on BP to talk shop with other investors, dig into landlording and property management, and help newer landlords skip the mistakes I made. Always glad to share what's worked and what hasn't — feel free to reach out. I have also been influential in the design and development of www.undergroundlandlord.com the site designed to connect landlords and allow them to avoid the wrong tenants.
