I have had a long term interest in purchasing an investment property and I'm looking to be smarter about this.

Is the process the same as buying property in Canada?

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

I'm thinking about buying a property in NC.

I've not yet invested in my first property, but I plan to purchase my first one by the end of 2023.

I ask to take a walk through and document the current condition as my agreement states they can not damage the property during this process. and of course don't give them anything until you have walked through verified they are out and have voluntarily handed over keys.
