Having said that, since you're a newbie my strong suggestion is to go thru a professional initially.  

We also have a very strong rental market, and that too has high demand from investors wanting to purchase. 

We have just bought a bunch of HD's brand Defiant.  

This is their full time job and they collect a fee but are still able to pass along strong deals to end buyers.

You can change it to your custom name if you would like otherwise, it would just show the phone number in Caller ID.We use a 3rd party for eSign and eSign don't have custom branding currently.Sharad 

Both Charlotte and Raleigh are very strong growth markets, for all of the reasons that you mentioned.

Best of Both Worlds: Rent Now, Sell LaterOne approach would be to rent the property for a few years, taking advantage of the strong rental market, then sell it down the road when they’re ready to cash out or if they see the market peak.

Why not work with an agent to craft a strong offer if it’s a good deal, don’t just lowball for the sake of lowballing.

If you are brand new, I wouldn't self manage from OoS.

@Jared CarpenterPhoenix is a strong market for home sales and the competition has been pretty strong for the last few years now as the markets have recovered greatly from 5-6 years ago.
