Beautiful coastline, barrier reef, world-class fishing and diving, Caribbean island vibe coupled with a jungle mountain interior filled with caves, rivers, Mayan ruins, quant villages, rolling hillsides dotted with ranches/farms and sparsely populated countryside.

It’s way easier to cut expenses when starting out than it is to get spectacular returns

Other things that might make a difference are in the curb appeal, a nice front door and a spectacular looking place from the exterior.

. :) Now I did not where as good as you mention 15k a door sold for 70k  that's spectacular.

Much quieter than Denver, but only an hour away with a spectacular climate and so much to do outdoors.

That's a spectacular tenant.

There is a SPECTACULAR, massive Gothic style church for sale at an amazing discount and:* I can probably get it for $100,000 (cash);* It's in the city (semi inner-city) in Harrisburg PA with no parking except on-street;* I need about $600/month profit to be happy with my investment;* It's 16,000 square ft.

Think about it like this....If you find a spectacular deal on a home and you wholesale it to an end user you have one deal.

Nothing against Jones and Carteret (arguably the "real" down east NC) but there are only about 40 people there and about 40000 black bears;) So throw in Carteret and that list includes all the counties with NC southern coastline.

Play it safe for the first deal (more important than a spectacular ROI, you don't have to make all your profits on the first one) and you are off to a great start.
