For Investors
Distressed deals, sourced by a broker who builds.
Off-market properties, fixer-uppers, foreclosures, and value-add plays across North Carolina — with rehab numbers you can actually trust, because the same team that finds the deal can price and build the renovation.
The edge
A brokerage backed by a licensed builder.
Most agents can find you a fixer-upper. Very few can tell you what the rehab will actually cost — and then build it. Broker-in-Charge Darius Walton is a licensed North Carolina Real Estate Broker and a licensed General Contractor, so your deal analysis is grounded in real construction numbers, not guesswork.

Deal-to-done
Want the rehab number in writing?
Our Bid-Ready Deal Pack gives you as-built plans, an itemized GC rehab budget, and a commitment to build at that price — so your analysis is bankable before you buy.
Not sure a purchase is the right move?
Southern Cities Investors reviews the strategy first.
Our sister company works with owners, landowners, and operators on whether a property should be sold, partnered on, improved, or passed on entirely — before anyone commits capital. They also take deal submissions from wholesalers and agents.

However you capitalize a deal, we can point you to investor-friendly lenders and structure the offer to win.
Hard money
Fast, asset-based loans for flips — close in days, short term.
DSCR loans
Qualify on the property’s rental income, not your W-2 — great for rentals.
BRRRR / cash-out refi
Buy, rehab, rent, refinance to recycle your capital and repeat.
Conventional
Traditional financing for buy-and-hold, best long-term rates.
Cash
The strongest offer — we help you move fast and negotiate hard.

FAQ
Investor questions, answered.
What’s the 70% rule?+
A quick rule of thumb: offer no more than 70% of a property’s after-repair value, minus your rehab budget. Use the calculator above — then we verify the real ARV and rehab in person before you make an offer.
Do you work with out-of-state investors?+
Yes. We’re your local eyes and boots — video walkthroughs, honest condition reports, and GC-verified rehab estimates so you can buy remotely with confidence.
Can you actually handle the renovation?+
Yes. Darius is a licensed North Carolina general contractor (#107724), so the same team that finds and analyzes your deal can price and build the rehab — one accountable point of contact.
How do you find off-market deals?+
A mix of the MLS, direct-to-seller outreach, wholesaler relationships, and estate/probate leads across Charlotte and North Carolina.
What does it cost me as an investor?+
As your brokerage we’re generally compensated through the transaction. Reach out with your deal and we’ll walk you through exactly how it works — no surprises.
