Area is not a high end area by any means, all units don’t have laundry as well as no centralized air.

Air Force!

For strong rent and appreciation I stick within 15-20 minutes max of airport/rdu2.

Keep in mind this property is relatively turnkey with most capital improvements completed within the past 5-7 yearsIn the middle of the month of May, I get a call from my tenants saying that their electricity got cut out and the oven and air conditioner don't work.

In my market they just announced a long term, costly upgrade to an airport.  

The data is pretty accurate on Air Dna, but you should still confirm with boots on the ground. 

We purchased it the same way, with a conventional loan with 20% down, and it is doing well, the calendar is full, and we have an Air BnB superhost who also turns it over for us in between guests, and handles all guest correspondence and concerns, so it is truly passive.

But we will make that up with no state tax and every house has air conditioner/ Forced air :)That VA loan is valuable and sounds as tho it's no longer a dream,,, it's happening.

A major Coast Guard base is being stood up in N chs on the river, the port facility is booming and expanding rapidly, and N Chs offers some of the only reasonably priced developable RE with short commuting distance of the peninsula, Mount P, and the beaches.

Hey Sean,I came across this post today as I am looking to get into the Air BnB/short term rental game.
