I've heard there is potential in certain pockets of NH however I can't confirm solely based on experience .

I'm a conservative investor and for me this sponsor is an easy "no":1) I generally want to see at least one full real estate cycle experience in the exact strategy (and with little to no money lost). 

North Carolina is one of the markets I'm particularly interested in, given its strong economic growth and attractive rental market. would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect with you and discuss potential collaboration or investment opportunities.If you're open to the idea, I would love to schedule a call or virtual meeting to introduce myself, share my investment goals, and learn more about your experience and insights in the North Carolina market.Please let me know if you're interested in connecting, and we can find a time that works best for both of us.Thank you for considering my request.

There may be a Section 8 property list you can get onto, but my experience in PA with that is it is mostly a list of pits of despair.

Are there any current active investors in that area who can share their experience of that area and what kind of rents they are fetching?

Rental properties in areas with strong school districts typically experience higher demand and can command premium rental rates.

If you are doing section 8, there's a good guy I know of that handles that although I don't have personal experience in this space.

How have returns been effected by housing inflationary pressures? 

Does anyone have experience with this? 

I just feel that it will make finding a good tenant harder because they'll want a 1 year lease from my experience.
