Hello Christina - we recently acquired a home in Banner Elk that's just over a mile from the Sugar Mountain entrance.

Now, moving forward he offered for us to take it over completely.

It's putting out lots of fires, managing finances like a hawk, keeping projects on time, in line and on budget, marketing the property & getting it through closing, and *then* doing it all over again - and that's if you're not doing any of the work yourself. 

I own 32 properties myself and have bought and sold over 300, including a few apartment complexes.

I've been at this a while and have over 70% equity in my combined portfolio, and I'm over 50 years of age, so I don't look at creative financing options. 

So - somewhere 2 hours away, or somewhere you like to vacation in, or where all your family lives, or where you plan to move someday.Too many people are trying to do exactly what you're doing - pick a market based on a formula - and they end up buying a random 'cheap' property thousands of miles away, turn it over to people they've never met or even spoken to, and then... lose money.  

I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and continue learning from this incredible community.
