I own and operate a STR nearby in a strong area (Morningside just off of E Warren).

I know that area well (went to college nearby).

Being in North Carolina gives you a great mix of in-state potential and easy access to nearby markets.As you connect with others, don’t hesitate to ask about any specific steps in wholesaling, flipping tips, or how to evaluate rental properties.

It's on the water, and I have a 32 x 12 foot boat slip in the nearby community dock.

Rent a storage unit in a nearby town, ship all items to storage unit, pay someone to then use the items to furnish the home or make a weekend trip
