Raleigh/Cary is definitely competitive..it's a booming market, but your $30K in cash gives you some solid options, especially for a BRRRR strategy.If you're looking for slightly lower-cost entry points, here are a few markets to consider:Greensboro, NC: Staying within your home state, Greensboro offers a more affordable market compared to Raleigh.

Alta is a little expensive. https://learntitlesearching.com/contactus is 150$ looks like it has a lot to offer.

Quote from @Zach Howard: @Robby SanchezThanks for the offer - actually Texas is one of the places where I've started to look at potential properties and so on.

California offers great job markets and weather, but comes with high costs. 

I actually work with a great team in LR that offers turnkey and new construction.

This person did not raise any money, they invested around $600,000 into the offering and because they were one of the larger investors were considered a Co-GP because it was a new sponsor and they needed this persons $.

Having lived in IN for 8 years before moving to Austin TX, I believe this city offers great opportunity now and much potential.

It could also be worth it to test the market and see what kind of offers you receive. 

While sophistication of your equity partners (private money lenders) will vary between residential and commercial, the principle of raising private capital is the same.You need to develop your own system which allows a constant stream of PML even when you don't need the funds and/or don't have an active deal under contract.For example; I raise private capital by offering free educational workshops for people with self-directed IRAs.

I made a low offer and it was accepted.
