Join Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (go to MeetUp).

I’m kinda stuck in a communication triangle between a owner/seller, an agent and our mortgage guy. 

Found a park in NC near research triangle (Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill).9 tenant owned homes on 1 acre + lots.7 x $150 monthly lot rent2 x $160 monthly lot rent$1,370 monthly income—-$1,020 annual taxes$372 annual power for 3 street lightsSeller receives checks at their PO Box.

I’m having much better opportunities around the triangle, but you won’t get the appreciation.

There are others that structure it a bit different but similar almost like an upside down triangle. with an Funding company at the bottom and an operating company on its own. 2 bank act. single LLC'a funding Co being a MMLLC Operating CO as a MMLLC.  

Hello from a fellow Golden Triangle investor!

To give you an idea.  3-4 hrs north of me in Michigan, I call it the golden hammer triangle. 

There aren't that many properties to choose from so just learn the neighborhoods, get familiar with developments (such as the $20M being invested in East Colfax, infill projects breaking ground in neighborhoods surrounding RiNo, Sloan Lake, Golden Triangle etc.), and look at a bunch of properties until you find one that meets more of your criteria than the others. 5 years is a bit of a gamble; if your timeframe was closer to 10 I'd feel more comfortable but that's going to be the case no matter where you choose to invest IMO.   

You might even find something over in that Beaumont/Golden Triangle area.

The Triangle area has huge potential for growth in both real estate and technology.
