So most of you know RDToy and I moved to Charlotte last summer. We rented a house in Charlotte and it's perfectly fine. We are in no rush to move, but it looks like we are going to settle here and not move back to Raleigh/move elsewhere (although as soon as I put this in writing it will probably change...). With that in mind we are starting to think about buying a house here in Charlotte.
We have not contacted any real estate agents or mortgage brokers yet. Before I do that I thought I would come here for recommendations and advice.
First, RDToy still owns a townhome in Florida and I still own our house in Cary. Both properties are rented for more than the mortgage, so we are not losing money on either one. If we want to buy, in today's climate, am I going to have to unload at least one of those properties (or both) before we buy a house for ourselves here in Charlotte? If not, anybody got good brokers to speak to here in Charlotte?
We are interested in staying close to where we are now, or one of the other neighborhoods near us (NoDa, Midwood, First Ward, Elizabeth).
All knowing Pit, who should I talk to?
