Hi All,If your main goal is to invest in rental properties and retire from the corporate world in the next 5-10 years would you choose a job that pays more, is more stressful, longer hours and more one dimensional or a job that pays 20k less but is less stressful, easier commute and more transferrable to other industries?

I have been in the real estate game since 2014, mainly educating myself and saving money to do my first deal. 

I'm a new investor in NC, mainly in Cumberland County but venturing in Durham/Chapel Hill area in the near future.

We are mainly buy and hold investors, but if the right opportunity comes around I don't have a problem selling.  

I'm open to many district but I've been mainly researching Lawrence, indianapolis. 

Here are the companies who even though based in Montco/Delco, will work in Bucks too:- Sales By Helen, based in Ardmore - Main Line Estate Sales LLC, based in Villanova Hope this helps.

Or generally speaking, prices in the area went up, due to limited supply and high demand.With the Amazon HQ2 it won’t be much different.

There is also an incredible amount of development in the area which has caused the rental market to soften a bit (average rents in 2017 dipped as Supply exceeded Demand). 

The main issue with older slabs is the HVAC was put in the floor.

My main contractor doesn't have the resources to complete both projects at the same time.
