2017 North Carolina RE Investment Market

[Francis I.]

Hello everyone,

I am a not-so-new real estate investor currently living in the DMV area. The real estate market here is very tough, hard to find deals, and very competitive especially for new investors with little money primarily using hard money. I consider myself a go-getter and have actively been searching for deals since the last 1 year (I had one under contract last November but the deal fell through in February this year). I have been considering the North Carolina market lately and from a friend, it seems to be a better market, and maybe not as competitive as the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area. I am primarily interested in rehabbing and also wholesaling.

Active real estate investors in the area, what is the NC market currently like now? What areas in NC are good to invest in? What are my chances of succeeding?

Your comments are highly appreciated.
