North Carolina $50K Properties?

[Edwin Lopez Reynoso]

I am fairly new/new to real estate and I have a bit of cash saved up. Unfortunately I can't do much with $7K in California. However I looked for properties in North Carolina and I found many properties in Winston-Salem/Greens Boro area. 

I do not plan to move there, I am fine in LA for now. I would like to buy and hold the property and ideally have some tenants. In other words, I want to invest in properties/rentals. 

I wanted to ask, has anyone invested in that area (for rentals)? Any feedback, answers, or concerns to watch out for would be highly appreciated.
