I am buying a business in hickory and am looking to get some real estate going in the area too.

Welcome from Raleigh!

Try Solopro out. Their local to Raleigh and offer flat rate realtor fees.

I agree that you can find around 150k around Raleigh that can rent in the 1300 range. I have also seen a lot of town houses around for around 130k that rent around 1300. I kinda like townhouses for them being simple but always worried about the HOA.

It's hard to get deals in Raleigh unless you want to do a lot of rehab. If buying anything in good condition under 200k, it becomes a bidding war. I am looking for my next purchase.

I am in Raleigh too. Let me know if I can help.

I am in Raleigh too and always looking to connect with others.

You need a builders risk policy.

Raleigh is a hard market with inventory low. A lot of people are looking in Durham as a good place to get deals. Greenville seems to have a good inventory of duplexes at fair price. Greenville will always have a need for rentals with the college and hospital but the rents seem a lot lower. Raleigh is booming and has a need for housing.

I am in raleigh but have also looked at Greenville. I am trying to get into the market myself.
