Hi all,

I just started learning real estate investment. My goal is to buy and hold for cash flow. And hopefully one day I will be able to achieve financial independence.

I'm currently living in Raleigh. I found it's pretty hard to achieve even 1% rule of rental properties. Because of that, I started looking into flips as well.I'm looking for realtors who know NC well and I also want to know more investors who have already done what I want to do.

Thank you so much.

Hi Kit,

I realized the same thing. I am interested in getting a couple rental properties in Raleigh and Cary. However, it is almost impossible to achieve 1% rule in our area. I looked into Durham as well. But in Durham, only within certain area, the house would get appreciated. Let me know what you found out. We can talk more if you are interested.

It's the laundry room emergency drain. My laundry room is on the second floor.

Hi All,

I'm from North Caroline. I noticed in the brand new townhome that there is a pipe sticking out of the wall inside the garage. I mentioned the issue to the builder and they found out that that pipe is the laundry emergency pipe. The laundry room is on the second floor. The pipe is not pulled out of the house, it is inside the garage. The builder mentioned the inspector is ok with it. But I'd like to know if it is necessary to ask them to redirect the pipe out of the house. What potential issue will it have if they don't get the pipe out of the garage?

Thanks,

Karen
