Closing on two properties this month and would love to connect with nearby investors in North Carolina. 

I don't watch the news...I watch the actual news conference.I read actual reports, and not interpretations.I realize that any economic impact on purchases, business, investments, etc...aren't based on an economic problem, they're based on a temporary medical problem.I firmly believe, the medical problem will be solved in a short enough period of time and will not have any long term major negative impact on the economy.I know that when the "hounds are released", any negatives that might have happened to the economy, will bounce back and head north faster than it went south because of a built up demand...and the fact that this problem wasn't ecomonically based in the first place.

It's north of 5k with clean-up.  

@Matt Gironda I'm in the same boat over on the East side; north of WPB.

The one caveat to this is the landlords who deal in the Specialized Sector of Low-income housing, I don't deal in this space, so I'm not sure what the expectations are in this client base.One of my brothers an Accounting Clerk, got let go on Friday, he received a payout for his accrued vacation days, and all of his unused Sick time, with that large check, and the incoming unemployment checks, I have a feeling his landlord in North Hollywood will be getting paid the rent

@Alejandro Piedra I'm in a very similar position, only I work in construction sales north of you 30 mins in Stuart, FL and Treasure Coast area. 

@Fabricio Kannenberg - That plan would not work for anything on the north side. 

If you are looking for a stable rental market with great government and health care jobs, university students, and others moving north from the big cities than our upstate market is for you.

My answer was North, and South because East and West was already over saturated.

I currently live in Chicago western suburbs.
