A fourplex sold down the street a few months ago; when both were on the market, I cruised by to check them out.

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.
