For myself, the potential of a potential is not worth it, not when there is so many other great TC areas going to pick from. 

I feel that by doing this I am setting the INTENTION for my day which is so important. 

If i found this site before a week ago so i was deep into the purchase process, i don't know if i would have bought it, but i can live there for free with an extra 400 coming in so it is what it is.  So

I have lived in the Raleigh area for over 11 and luckily no matter where you buy there will be appreciation because there is so much demand to move to the “Triangle”.

Hey Guys, I am a full-time REALTOR in Southern California and I want to start investing out of state, I've made my mind up and I am on the very early stages of this journey, I have been trying to do some research in markets around the country that could have a good potential for investing but It's overwhelming the amount of information out there taking how big this the US is, so I was wondering:What are some ideas/suggestions on starting the research process?

There is so much noise and contradicting information out there it's very easy to get confused about what you should be doing. 

@Alexei Rotaru pick up a black light flashlight (I got one from Amazon for ten bucks) and see if that can't help you pinpoint where all the pee is so you can proceed from there. 

The cash flow of this house is so low, which makes me want to get a better one.I am a newbie and don’t know if those thoughts make sense at all.

I'm just wondering if we should just bite the bullet and continue renting.I've always heard the 5 year number when it comes to staying in your home to be able to make up the losses from closing costs but we really need more space, and rent is so high here that it seems like buying a home and putting work into it over a few years is the smarter choice.Thanks for reading!

The problem is that the rental market is so tight here in the Boise area that the tenant has not been able to find adequate replacement housing so they have notified the property management company they "need" an extra month.I suggested they contact an attorney that specializes in tenants and property management.They were told that they really can't take any legal action yet, since the tenant is not yet in default.
