Hi my name is Christian I'm a  new investor looking to invest in the North Carolina area.

I am in Calgary and looking to invest locally.

@John Underwood investing early and if done right, pays well for a very long time.

Contact me with your buying criteria and I will partner with you to find your next investment property in Raleigh, NC. 

Investment Info:Mobile home hard money loan investment.

I quit my job in tech a couple of months ago and I'm excited to pivot into real estate investing. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I would also say that markets like Manhattan are not super representative of most markets in the US - a lot of foreign investment I'd imagine in NYC, Miami etc - I'd guess a lot of these cash purchases are more about exchanging unstable or risky foreign assets/currencies for perceived stability/safety of US top metro residential real estateI think in a lot of other markets where this isn't relevant - I think most are cash offers being "king" as not having appraisal or other contingencies that might sabotage the sale after 30 days or so and make people re-list (sellers will take less to avoid this risk and downside)

If urgency is a factor for the seller, you could close as soon as the title is clear.
