Hi Paul,I'm a proud eastern NC native, but must admit that eastern NC is a very different animal from the major NC markets like Charlotte, Triad, and the Triangle.

I don't know what your current debt situation is or how you feel about leverage, but this is just an example of how much further your money can go in this market.I am not as familiar with the Pratville/Montgomery market, of course, but AL in general has much lower property prices than the rest of the country.

I'm a little concerned about the distance (across country).

really depends on what part of the country your in.. in low value areas wholesaling the property is probably more productive on an income level..

Also, are there any inclement weather problems unique to that part of the country that damage properties, like tornadoes?

It is important to mention whenever this comes up that the oil boom/bust has not had a negative impact on the Eastern half of the state.  

@Antonio Actually in Ohio there seems to be more out of state and out of country investors eager to invest in Ohio now because it's a hot market.

High jobs growth and lower than average cost of living, low property prices and some of the lowest property tax rates in the country.
