Feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions about the area.

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

I have not selected a specific property yet, but want to at least identify my potential investors.

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

Keep learning, stay focused, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions or need further guidance.Good luck on your real estate investing journey If you have any more questions or need specific advice, feel free to ask.

Anyone know of any good sources for small business HELOCs?
