I've got a friend who owns a rental in the Raleigh, NC area that a company just pays him a check every month for the right to rent it out.

I don't know much about Raleigh, NC area but from my very brief search it seems to be solid place to invest. 

My name's Ben Beddick and I'm a rookie investor who's looking to get started and connect with any other REIs in the Winston-Salem/Triad area of NC.

I am from North Carolina but manage my current rental arbitrage properties in Medellin, Colombia & Rio de Janeiro Brazil.Now, I am looking to start buying real estate - likely in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina where I am from, but also open to new markets.I stretched myself very thin on my arbitrage business, so my cash is very low. 

Yes, this exists and credit/liquidity requirements are not onerous.Many satisfied customers over the years and now open in select metro areas in 10 states: TX, NM, AR, MO, IN, OH, NC, GA, TN, ALWe are happy to assist with questions or inquiries.

I am currently looking in NC and SC, as New England is way more expensive than other areas.

The settlement fee is a lot more than we charge in NC and the added "attorney" fee is repetitive. 

If you are investing in NC, you  may have the funds to get the property your aiming for.

I’m in Charlotte, NC but I manage over 50 MTRs almost exclusively.

Looking to connect with people who understand vacation rentals on Lake Norman. Have a deal I'm analyzing, but I need some more insight as to how to get a solid ARV, since comps are sparse.
