NC Too Hot of a Market?

[Mike Huang]

Hi BP!

I'm looking into NC as a market now and a realtor who's the cousin of a good friend told me that the market there is too hot to really cashflow enough to make it worth investing in the popular areas, such as the Triangle, Triad and Charlotte areas. He has recommended looking at places about 30 minutes out from those areas.

Is this true? How would I go about finding deals that prove the exception to the rule?
