See y'all in downtown Durham!

Hot market indeed, have not had much luck so far. Happy to connect as I've been around the area for a while and could learn some things as well.

Just curious, why short-term rentals instead of long-term? Raleigh-Durham isn't known for travel/vacationing as much so I'm not sure how occupancy or cashflow would play out. Just trying to understand, thanks!

Sounds awesome, is this a monthly meetup? Would love to attend more soon now that I've been vaccinated

Hi there,

Have recently purchased an investment property and am looking for your opinions on the best property management company in either Raleigh or Durham. A couple things I'd like to know is: What is their fee? How long did it take them to place tenants for you? 

I want to hear anecdotal evidence. Or maybe someone can talk me out of using a PM and instead self-manage. Open to all opinions, thanks!

I appreciate the responses. My best bet for my first deal is likely to be house hacking with low down payment. I agree the 1% is not likely to happen in RDU but cool to hear these other creative strategies. Will have to look into ADUs.

I agree with @Jiri B. in that I need to find a deal and make it work. It won't be perfect but it will get me started.

Looking for first deal and finding it difficult to break 1% rule or >5% CaC when evaluating properties in Durham. I know deals are there, but should I mainly be focusing on appreciation rather than monthly cashflow?
