Fresh Meat from Cary, NC

Happy Weekend, BPers!

I'm just now joining BP after months of reading, podcasting, and lurking. Real estate is something that I've always found appealing, but have never found "investable" until I started digging into the art of rental and long-term cash flow investing. Now I'm pretty excited by the possibilities – but am also aware of the struggle to get over the hump and go from a theoretical investor to an actual one.

I'm planning on going to the monthly real estate deal meetup in RTP soon, but am also interested in speaking directly with other early investors. It seems like having a group of peers is one of the best ways to get the confidence necessary to make that first deal. So if that's interesting to you, or you already have something like that going, I'd love to hear from you!

Specifically I'd love to know if any of you local to the Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Apex area are finding success in buy and hold rental properties. It seems the real estate appreciation in the area has taken that off the table for all but the best of deals?

Hope to hear from you!
