Durham County NC BRRR from DC
Hey all, I'm living in a crazy expensive market (DC) but was looking to begin investing using a BRRR structure. I was thinking since DC's market is heavy on appreciation and not CF/renovations, that Durham county NC would be a good play for this (in addition to having family in the area).
Wanted to see if anyone has been able to BRRR with a property 5+ hours away?

Hi @Tim Cassels it is really rare right now to find a BRRRR that works in Durham. As @Christopher Anderson mentioned supply is really tight here right now and this does not help the rent:price ratio. There are some other surrounding areas that work well for BRRRRs (i.e. Fayetteville), but Durham is more for flips right now
