Chapel HIll, NC Market Info

[Victor Olowu]

I recently got accepted to UNC's grad program in Chapel Hill, so I will be moving out there in the fall. I hate paying rent so I was thinking about having some tenants pay it for me.  I am looking at buying a 2/3/4 multi-family building and living in one of the units.

Does anyone know any good finance companies in the Raleigh, Chapel HIll, Durham area that work with real estate investors?  Maybe some credit unions? Ones that you can actually talk to in-person vs just filling out an online application that gets an automatic yes or no.
