Unlike the midwest, our inventory in Raleigh is very very low and highly competitive because of that.

Not the smartest move by the seller, but it cuts down on buyer competition, which is in your favor. include something like this: Offer is contingent on buyer walk through of the entire property within 3 days of acceptance to buyers satisfaction, otherwise buyer may declare this offer is null and void via written notice within 5 days after AO. 

Most likely higher prices in 2025 and 2026 as a result, along with increased competition and missed opportunities for appreciation this year to those who wait.At this rate, the only event that has the potential to cause a downturn in the Raleigh real estate market is if suddenly everyone stops moving here and buying here OR the economy at large experiences a deep recession. 

This is hugely problematic for the “speed” aspect of BRRRR investing—drastically slowing down the returns and velocity of capital for BRRRR investors using conventional loans.Portfolio lenders are another option, and they typically offer competitive rates and fees as well.

Returns will be lower and its very competitive but schools are great and crime is low. 

Gatlinburg, Galveston, etc are oversaturated, competitive, and home prices have shot up considerably to where the numbers are tough to make work if you're just jumping in now.

Therefore you likely have a window to be aggressive with your acquisitions with less competition in the marketplace.

I'm looking for any recommendations for competitive rates.

Though, it should be the other way around.If you learn to first approach the park manager and/or owner to build a relationship and rapport with them, you'll be well ahead of the game when it comes to competition and doing business in mobile home parks. 

The market does slow in the winter, but people still move, especially in areas with decent weather.You need to study the market constantly and know how you compare to the competition.
