In NC, the GIS can let you see a topography map (every 2 ft or 6ft of elevation change), and sometimes if there is public water or sewer available at that location.If you don't already have your real estate license (or don't want to get it), you can find a local real estate agent that can help you...please tell the agent your plans, please don't just "use" them and have no intention of letting them earn a commission.Best to you,Sherry

We elevated our look and we stay booked at a 90%+ rate every month except may and September which is closer to 75-80%.

If you have flood insurance, get an elevation certificate.

As for vs '22' market, weird thing that is happening is in market of my active focus prices are actually up, still, as current as most recent months MOM market read, but same time due to pricing compression as pricing elevates from median home prices the rate of those that have extended listing times or cancel out, rises parabolically.

Looking ahead, higher mortgage rates and elevated home prices will heighten affordability constraints that will likely temper the housing market in the coming months.”For the first time in 11 years, the statewide median home price surpassed its previous peak price of $594,530, which was recorded more than 10 years ago during the last housing boom.

I'd plan for this opportunity by having a little elevator introduction about what you want to gain from the meeting and real estate investing.

Don't want to bust any chops so I'll just state what I know and let you draw conclusions. 1 psi of water pressure is 2.307 ft of change in elevation.

I find usually what they think it's worth is off or their comps are slightly elevated.

So, that $60K person is living in a house with a $1,500 house payment, $200-$300 in utilities, a $100+ cell phone bill, $200 in food at home, but another $200-300 eating out, a $500 car payment, Full package Directv at $180 per month, drinking starbucks coffee at $5 a cup that they pick up on the way to work....and the list goes on.Not any one of the items listed seem unreasonable, but combined with the salary to support that kind of lifestyle is excessive for that person, making them live outside of their means.I was at my annual holiday lunch with one of my attorneys.. and we got on the coffee habit... not to mention smoking habit at 7 to 10 bucks a day.. but in Portlandia were coffee is a thing.. she said many of her staff ride down the elevator buy the fancy 5 buck coffee and do it 2 to 3 times a day 5 days a week.. that's a 200 to 300  a month coffee habit right there.. smokers 300 a month  drinkers etc etc..
