I am interested in beginning my real estate journey by buying my first rental property in North Carolina in 2025. 

AlisonWelcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you all the best in your investing journey!!

As you get started in your RE journey ill give you a recommendation.This website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like. https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total LIVABILITY score for each street and zip code.

More than happy to connect with you talk about kickstarting your RE investing and house hacking journey.

Hello BP,I had the opportunity to start my REI journey by buying a Co-Op apartment close to the beach a few months ago.

Usually people use the enemy method to figure out the worth of the investment.

Best of luck in your journey. 

Would love to have ya and see if we can't help you guys along your journey. 

Check the in person events and meetups in your local area, our online community is full of knowledge and folks willing to share and still nothing replaces the opportunity to interact IRL, you never know who you will meet and where that can take you on your REI journey. 

I look forward to connecting with like-minded individuals, learning from your experiences, and sharing my journey in real estate investing.
