The combination of a growing economy, increasing population and improving infrastructure make this region a prime opportunity for real estate investment.Some key points to consider:Strong job growth: The Research Triangle region is a hub for tech, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies, driving job growth and attracting top talent.Affordable housing: Compared to other major cities, the cost of living in Raleigh/Durham is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for those looking to buy their first home or upgrade.Growing population: The area's population has been steadily increasing, with a projected growth rate of almost 10% by 2030.Developing infrastructure: New transportation projects, such as the Durham-Orange light rail, are making it easier for residents to get around, further boosting the appeal of the area.If you're looking for a real estate market with solid fundamentals, steady growth, and room for appreciation, I would definitely recommend considering Raleigh/Durham.

I wonder if it will simply become a way to transport drugs between the three cities avoiding police on the freeway and avoiding airport sniffing dogs???

Usually, manufactured homes are built in factories (regulated by HUD) which are then transported to each site where they are placed (blocked and set).

I could not see your CL ad as it has long since expired, so not familiar with the building, or location, however....Basic Marketing Plan********************************************************Here are my thoughts from a large office building greenhorn - someone else could chime in with criticism-- Start a Facebook page for the building -- -- Add content such as articles maybe on the building - any historical content, talk about the upgrades that were done, share articles or info on surrounding ammenities, restaurants, gyms, location to public transport etc -- Create some positive spin for the building -there has to be something unique about it you can sell/spin -- any former historic uses etc?

The metropolitan area is a business and transportation hub for the region because of its central location and readily available transportation options, including three major interstate highways and the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest passenger airport in the world, which is estimated to have a $32.5 billion with direct annual economic impact on the metropolitan area.

An experienced appraiser/investor will look to trends in the subject area, transportation lines, types of employment in that area, employment security, proximity to parks, hopsitals, shopping centers and schools.

Furthermore, the few companies that build prefab may not be in business in the future making repairs difficult and their headquarters may be out of state making transportation costs high plus you definately won't get points for locally sourced materials on your certifications.

as you know....And it used to be a lot easier also.We used to be able to go to the Dept. of Transportation and get a copy of drivers licenses, which of course have addresses, as well as DOB.We even got non-driving ids from the DOT.We used to get new postal addresses from the PO for $1 each.We used to get birth and death certificates from the Bureau of Vital Statistics.We used to be able to get letters to prisoners.We used to be able to inquire if a senior citizen was a resident of a specific nursing/retirement home"USED TO" is the key phrase.

In a walkup in you will probably be fine, but then the issue will be finding a unit close enough to transportation and in a desirable area where the rents will be high enough.

I visited it and also, no disrespect, but it didn't hold up to the "Millennial test"- there was a real lack of bike lanes and easy of transportation.
