Hey @James E.  

@Robert P.Don't forget to get an E-stopple letter from the seller. 

It is a hard call.From a macro perspective the fundamentals are not really supportive of prices for the medium term (1-3 years).

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

@Erik E., I am in the military so I move every three years, roughly.  

At the end of the year the accounting package generates the complete correct Schedule E which is IRS compliant in PDF form with the IRS requiring each property to be itemized separately.......... 

Meet Kasita: The Micro-Housing Start-Up That's About To Revolutionize Real EstateWhen I ask Wilson what fundamental problem his company is solving he tells me without flinching: “Kasita is on the verge of disrupting the urban housing market in ways not seen in real estate and development in 150 years.”

Hi @Randy E. - my plan is to move to Durham in 1-2 years and I am doing research on the area (although in 1-2 years the market might be EVEN tighter than you describe).I'd love to get your thoughts on the neighborhoods and price points that you look at, if you are willing - happy to do that here or via DM.I figure it's at least good to connect and pool resources with people in the Durham area for the time when I do move down there!

Eventhough his property is worth about 350,000,000 e's real down-to-earth and you need to use every spare time looking at property and know that area well.I wish you the best!

DON'T be naive -- there's no free lunch so be sure to READ, READ, R E A D as much as possible.
