Beautiful weather, outdoor activities, and a vibrant culture add an extra layer of appeal for both residents and investors.But Florida isn't a one-size-fits-all market.

We don't want to bring on every owner or every property unless they fit within our target market, so, I do the far majority of the sales - this is our check and balance.

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

I would have answer to the questions then with those answer, I would ask, can you find a better deal (equity, cash flow, appreciation potential etc.) that better fits your portfolio and is it worth the extra time?

I have the details in place, but need to make sure I fit within regulatory and accounting laws.

With a manageable purchase price and the opportunity for high-impact renovations, it fit perfectly within our investment strategy, promising a solid return.

That sounds like a perfect fit for you

Also, coming from running a business just think of RE as a business (which it is), the numbers have to work and your investments need to fit into the big picture.

The type of the neighborhoods where his properties were located didn't fit in with my plan but he did well and the purchase costs were low.

I’m happy to connect and also let you know about deals that come across my desk that might fit your criteria.
