The area near downtown in the Bull City scares most people but with the inevitable gentrification those so-called "war zones" will eventually be home to the professionals who work at the nearby office buildings, universities, and of course RTP.

I currently work full-time but eventually I would like to do real estate full-time and be completely out of corporate America within the next 5 years.

I am highly motivated to eventually make real estate/property investing my career and joined the site to further my education on all aspects of investing.

I would like to start out with single family houses, but I might eventually move on to multi-family units or even apartment complexes if things go well.  

It would seem logical to draw some distinctions to days of easier refinances and targeting paper with the propensity to refinance and short to eventual sale.  

It is a 3 family with a seven car garage (which I could eventually turn into an extra apartment) it is currently being sold for 220K and it is producing 3,000 a month.
