Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy).

Our whole job is to broker deals between buyers and sellers.

Used PSI last year, they did a bad job, the snow wasn't even bad last year and with several attempts asking them to do better within the terms of the contract, they still sucked. 

@Chloe Salcedo investing in real estate is not a full-time job.

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.

I think the reason that Grocapitus or Neal Bawa were not getting much response either speaks to their level of participation in BP (Neal obviously doesn't spend much time here), or the fact that unhappy LPs were shy, or happy LPs were shy, or BP does a poor job of really getting posts noticed.

Nice job!  

I had the same uneasy feeling thinking about ditching my W2 job to pursue a career in real estate, when the market turned for the worst.

I’ve seen that in my W-2 job, so it makes sense that the same value is applicable in real estate.

@Ricky RigsbeeI got the analyzer and it does a good job assisting you with your underwriting and the different scenarios you can generate for comparison.
