Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

Hate to hear that. I'm a lifer here and love it. Tough time right now with everything going on to probably get the full experience.

 

Not a dog dude....



that’s a horse, they prefer if you ride them

 

Ah, Denver, NC. Didn’t even know that was a place! Housing prices in Denver, CO is NUTS!

 

We considered a move there last year( and still not off the table), even getting close to $1M for our house here it would be a real rough transition to that market.

 

We are trying to figure out where we want to buy land out there. Colorado is overrun by transplants which is why we moved out of Colorado to Montana. Couldn’t afford Bozeman either so we headed East and ended up here.

 

I believe that's the ever elusive Blue Ridge Retriever

 

Boulder is really where I think we could end up. My firm has an office in Denver. But I’m full time WFH so it’s be hard to trade that.

 

Boulder is the worst* part of Colorado. You might as well just move to California.
* super political

 

We visited in the early fall, so we got a taste! It was a nice city, just didnt really jive with us for some reason.

 

luckily our equity keeps climbing. Currently sitting around $100k

We have been talking about pulling $30k and using as a downpayment for a vacation condo at the beach. It would pay for itself from rental income. Then once I have 40% equity in that keep buying more with equity from other units.

90% of all millionaires got their wealth from real estate. Getting the money to get started is always the biggest hurdle and barrier to entry.

 

I wouldn’t live there. Too blue, if you know what I mean.

 

I’m already a square peg in a round hole in my neighborhood.

 

Softopper for sale soon or now if you have cash, $600 if anyone is interested. Only used for 1 year-ish

3rd gen, short bed, black.

Will come with extra two clamps for added clampage, and a custom pvc tube for the perfect side panel roll (see below).

 

I’m actually just outside of Charlotte in Concord

 

Property isn’t terribly priced, it’s the insurance that gets you. We just had a family member buy a place at Topsail Island, a couple blocks off the beach. Her homeowners and flood insurance are comparable to a monthly mortgage payment.

 

A fellow Concord guy. Concord is booming right now. We’re thinking about getting a little further away from Charlotte.

 

It's not usually the homeowner's insurance that gets you. The flood and the separate wind and hail coverage that you have to get is the kicker.

 

I like the Concord area, but hate the traffic around everything. I'm down in the Wesley Chapel/Weddington area, and I've about had enough of it. Want more land and less people around.

 

Yeah she just mentioned homeowners and flood but for the amount she’s paying it might include those too and she just forgot to mention them.

 

Same here. 7 years ago when we bought it wasn’t bad but a lot has changed.
