I'm advising folks to keep a close eye on Clay, Cicero, North Syracuse, the neighborhoods including and surrounding Eastwood, and the neighborhoods by the university.

Looking to invest in a multifamily in the raleigh/surrounding areas.

I'd start by refining your search criteria, researching the surrounding markets, and comparing them to what best fits your needs, etc. 

Quote from @Melanie Thomas: My recommendation is base salary plus incentives surrounding KPI's.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

Potentially interested in surrounding markets.

With  one property, a hotel that doubled as a homeless shelter one neighborhood over shut down and has caused problems for the surrounding areas.

Whether you’re experienced or just starting out, I’d love to network, share insights, and collaborate.If you’re active in Philly or the surrounding counties, let’s connect!

What I decided to do was work in what I was interested in and it led me to be an experienced real estate agent specializing in wholesaling off market properties in PA region specifically Philadelphia and surrounding areas such as Montgo, Delco etc.

I manage 3 STR rentals in the Blue Ridge area.I have great teams surrounding me for both management portfolios and ready to grow.Looking to connect!
