I recently moved to Morganton, NC. I am extremely new to the real estate game. I did flip the house I lived in in Augusta, GA for a huge return but I consider that to be a fluke, although it did give me enough cash to...

I moved 2200 miles to come back to Indiana from Calgary, AB Canada.It was a big move but the homes in western Canada are similar to your area -very over priced and won't cash flow.I always suggest looking within a few hours of your home to invest first.  

My name is Paul and I am a newbie from the western suburbs of Chicago where I live with my wife and daughter and am excited about getting started in real estate investing in my area. 

For example: could a home in the north-eastern corner of the Las Vegas addition pull comps from the north-western corner of Gatewood (assuming the homes are identical in terms of interior/rehab quality)?  

I'm 30,000 feet over the western United States right now, using the magic of in-flight wifi.

Might not be realistic in older cities, but I know those trends work well for cities in the western US. 

I'm looking for someone who can mentor me in getting started in Real Estate investment. I believe I wish to do small multifamily to begin, but I'm constantly overwhelmed by the actions needed to commit.

I live in Raleigh and won't be able to make a trip the week you're in town, but we have several STRs in Western NC (Mars Hill & Burnsville) and happy to jump on a Zoom call to answer any questions about the area. 

It is East of HWY 71 which isn't as great as the Western part.
