Looking for my next move!

Hey BP!!

I am not new to BiggerPockets, I have been listening to the podcast for several years now but just now deciding to take action on the forum. I bought my first house for a live in flip and rent in December 2018. With this house I currently have a HELOC and looking to use this to buy my first rental. Right now I am leaning more heavily towards cash flow through small multi family but I want some experienced advice! I am interested in charlotte, Winston Salem, Greenville, Spartanburg, Greer, Anderson, Asheville, Hendersonville, Canton, Maggie Valley. Really anywhere within 3 hours of Waynesville!

If you were in my shoes, what would you do???

Thanks!

Hi Jonathon,

If I were you, I would focus on Haywood County.  You are fortunate to already be in the sweet spot - an area that has growing population and employment, but is not a focus of out of town investors.  Waynesville is an awesome place with plenty of good deals still available. There are a number of active investors in your area that are really good guys.  I would reach out to them. If you need help meeting folks, join CREIA over in Asheville. A bunch of the Haywood County folks attend those meetings.
