@Ben Burgess Like you, I was about 8 years into my career in Tech when I made the decision to get into RE investing, and funny enough, secured my first rental property in Medford!

We might move back to the East Coast in 4-5 years, so I’m looking for investments that can work well as a primary residence now and a rental property later.Income: Both my girlfriend and I have solid tech salaries (150k+ each).Current Portfolio: I don’t currently own any rental properties.Goal & Long Term Plan: I don’t love my current job so like many of you, I would like to create enough passive income through rental properties to have financial freedom and be able to work business ideas or side projects.

The presence of major employers and tech companies, coupled with ongoing job creation, positions the Raleigh-Durham area as one of the top locations for job seekers and investors.

Here are some areas where automation and tech adoption can make a difference: Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Use a robust CRM system to track interactions with potential buyers, sellers, tenants, and partners.

Test drive the tech products - part of the BP pro membership is access to our amazing tools like Market Finder, Deal Finder, Rental Calculators, etc.

Given my tech and data background, I'm considering developing an online app specifically for Canadian investors.I'm envisioning an interactive dashboard that integrates economic data, sales figures, bylaws, and rental information, complete with prediction models.
