Since comps are limited, analyze similar nearby locations to estimate demand.When pitching investors, focus on a clear business case: expected income, expenses, occupancy, and ROI.

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

You want to be close to RTP (our economic hub) and the airport (located right by RTP).
