Hi Matt,

Would definitely be interested in checking out the property! I’m on the hunt for my next primary and would like it to be a project. Which part of town is it in? Happy to help with listing if that’s the way you decide to go too!

Hey Ryan,

Sorry to hear that you had a negative experience.

Designated dual agency is very common in NC and in most cases allows both buyer and seller to receive the highest level of service with no conflict of interest even though they are being represented by the same Firm. Unless your agent is affiliated with a small Firm or works in the same local office as the listing agent, the odds of them knowing each other and having already shared info about either party with each other are pretty slim.

By not allowing designated dual agency you could be preventing yourself from purchasing a property that otherwise checks all of your boxes. For example, I am an agent with Real in the Triad. If I were representing a buyer who indicated that they do not consent to dual agency, I would have to filter out all of the listings from every other agent affiliated with Real to make sure that we avoided a transaction with agents at my same Firm. That said, I highly recommend checking the box on your buyer agency agreement stating that you do not permit the same agent to represent both buyer and seller.

Hi Brian,

Fellow Triad investor here

You're right that multifamily inventory in this area is lacking.However, I think there are plenty of non-multifamily properties in the Triad that are conducive to house hacking. I've been house hacking the past 2 years in a SFH. We bought the house because it has a finished walk out basement that we converted into a separate apartment that is furnished and rented as an MTR.

Greensboro also recently approved some new ADU friendly zoning rules to encourage denser housing. Have you considered using a HELOC on your current home to build an ADU on the same property?

Do you know anyone in Ohio? Do you like the cold? Maybe I’m biased, but I think you’d be crazy to leave Greensboro for Ohio. I see a lot more people doing the opposite. 

Hi Vijay,

I think that the rental market in and around Greensboro will remain strong despite more investment activity adding to the supply of rental units. There is a large population of young adults here who are not ready to buy yet or prefer to rent over buying a home. As the population continues to grow and more high income earners move here to work at Toyota, Boom, etc. the average purchase price will continue to rise making it even more difficult for first time buyers to break into the market. I am continuing to buy in this market wherever it makes sense.

Happy to assist in your search for the perfect investment!

@Kristen James Koelliker fellow house hacker/realtor here! I'd love to help you look in and around Greensboro. I'll go ahead and warn you that house hacking is addicting and may lead to the purchase of additional properties haha. 

Hey Ben!

Local investor/agent here! You should check out Pints and Properties in Greensboro, it’s a monthly meet up for investors in the area on the last Wednesday of each month at 6pm at Pig Pounder Brewery. 

Let me know if you need help getting started!

Hi Luis,
Nice to meet you! I’m an investor and agent in the Triad. Curious why you are getting your license just to do wholesaling? If you don’t plan on working as a traditional agent helping people buy/sell properties it may be best to save your time/money and just dive deep into wholesaling. 

Pints and Properties is on the last Wednesday of every month at 6pm at Pig Pounder Brewery in Greensboro. 

Hey Paul, I invest and live in the Triad (Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem). Happy to chat about the area and answer any questions you have!

Are you looking for a closing attorney or something specific? Iddings and Thacker is great!
