Hello All, Is the rental market in Winston Salem strong? I have property in Charlotte and was thinking of buying a property in Winston. Just researching now. thanks for input.

@Anthony Thomas Check out Bank of Oak Ridge for deals in and around WS/Greensboro @Han Oo What @Caroline Hardin said was spot on. @Abigail Cooper I have lived in WS/Gboro area for approx 29 years of my life. Happy to provide insight/feedback if you ever have any questions! @Junior Cene I would love to hear about your north side properties. The neighborhood I am building is in the Germanton rd. area and I have thought about buying/flipping over there. @Shannon Young what @Adam McCurdy said is right. "Cheap" doesn't necessarily mean good. Winston, like all cities have pockets of places to avoid, unless of course you are interested in D areas.

The rental market in winston salem is doing great right now specially with the city growing and more and more business downtown and more building is being built I have several rental properties in Winston but mostly on north aide of town, its a great place to invest

Hey Everyone! I know this is an older post, but I just moved to Winston-Salem and I’m happy to help however I can. Especially for those of you out of state, I’d love to be your “boots on the ground.” Send me a message, and I look forward to connecting with you all soon, thanks!

Hi all -- I found this older thread and have a similar question. I'm considering buying a property on Center Street just SouthWest of UNC School of the Arts. I'm a newbie Buy and Hold investor from California and have a couple of properties in Durham and Burlington but I'm not very familiar with Winston-Salem. I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the area and if this is a good place to invest and rehab? Thanks for your input.

Hello! I'm a Western North Carolina local. If you look closer to zip code 27105 you'll probably find better areas to invest, especially nearer the lake. East Winston has a higher crime rate than other areas around there. West Winston is also a good alternative bet, especially since the area is growing. Caroline

Hi all, I am a investor from Virginia and looking to invest in Winston-Salem, High Point and Greensboro area. May I ask how is East Winston area? Is that safe or high crime area? I am not very familiar with the area. Thank you all in advance.

Would anyone know of small banks that offer Portfolio lending in Winston Salem?
