There is also VinFast, WolfSpeed, the Toyota Battery Plant, ... large pharmaceutical companies, manufacturers, energy producers, and a diverse cross section of other industries who are moving to or expanding within an hour of Raleigh.

I also recommend looking at other markets where your dollar goes farther and is more likely to produce a positive cash flow and move you towards your goals.1.

In three years it could pay for a new furnace.Landlords that charge market rate, or close to it, have money to maintain their property, which attracts better tenants that pay more and stay longer, which produces more money to maintain the property...and so on.You can't afford a vacancy?

Tenants will bring in family members who are temporarily/permanently homeless, single moms will bring in new boyfriends, daughters who produce children will have a tendency to drop their offspring off with grandma and grandpa to raise, etc.. 

My shingles are no longer produced thus my insurance company will need to do a complete replacement.
