Real estate has now peaked my interest and I want to buy in North Carolina and I might be open to other hot markets.

Speaking of iteration, allow me to share with you the iterations and processes we go through in our Multi-unit Acquisition Program: After a client gets pre-approved for financing, we go through multiple deals to find the best ones that meet our metrics.

In-town, most properties don't meet the density/saturation requirement.

You'll want to target hot markets that are not oversaturated.

Glazing in walls, enclosures or fences containing or facing hot tubs, spas, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms, bathtubs, showers and indoor or outdoor swimming pools where the bottom exposed edge of the glazing is less than 60 inches (1524 mm) measured vertically above any standing or walking surface shall be considered to be a hazardous location.

But, these broad market studies are so large, they are almost meaningless, in the real world.Between glut of new supply in many "hot" markets coming online, a continually softening economic outlook, inflation over last couple years making day to day items feel cost prohibitive, many average renters are strapped and seeking lower cost housing.  

This area is not only become a very hot tourist spot but a place to retire and hide.  

This is very useful.You could build a deck or gazebo to house a hot tub.

Very often they sound robotic and scripted and does not lead to hot leads or appointments. 

@Jason Wray, The reason that our shop is pretty hot about your post is two-fold, we do all of the things that you are implying that we don't (other than government loans, we don't work in that space).
