Happy to share some of my experiences both as an OOS and in-state investor.  

Does anyone have experience with this process and care to share how much of a lift (or decline) they saw after making the switch?

If the price point is feasible I'd advise to do your first flip locally that way you can build systems and processes and gain the experience of doing a flip while being able to monitor close by.

The argument I often hear made is this:Raleigh is going to experience price drops to bring us back to some sense of normalcy.

Some will tell you "On Title, or no experience", thankfully, there are some lenders who WILL consider GC experience if we can validate with permits pulled on similar addresses/projects - this would be part of the underwriting process.

But some of my agents have experience with wholesaling. 

In my experience I have seen that range from 30-60 days (could be more, could be less).
