Looking to invest in a multifamily in the raleigh/surrounding areas. Would love to get anyones experience on househacking in this particular market and any insights on the north carolina market areas

Consider financing options like hard money loans, or FHA loans for house hacking, and focus on areas with strong rental demand near the MA/NH border.

Alternative route I chose, I will leverage my duplex (purchased 4 years ago) equity through house hacking to have skin in the game on next flip.

So in Real Estate, say your doing a "volume model", let's say sec8 housing.

In other words, I can afford the house with or without tenants.
