Facts NOT feelings Jeremy.....

Hey Hazel feel free to PM me, I have a strong referral network and would be happy to connect you.

We all know that is there is nothing worse than not feeling confident about handing over the keys to your property. 

Resist the temptation of a cheap property/market.It's also going to feel like you are not making any progress in the first year or two.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  

Feel free to reach out or drop a message below if you'd be open to a conversation or networking!

I don't see a lot and feel like there is spam in some of them. 

Being nearby allows you to stay hands-on—you can see, touch, and fully immerse yourself in the process.There’s a lot to learn, not just about managing rentals but also about overseeing property management companies.Handling tenants and maintenance can feel overwhelming at times, but starting with a property close to home gives you the opportunity to gain valuable experience.

I’m always looking to expand my network with like-minded individuals on here, so feel free to reach out.

Quote from @Anil Shah: It's unfortunate Raleigh-Durham didn't make your cut of 13 cities but Charlotte is definitely the city to choose in NC if your want the city feel.
