Amazon, Urban Outfitters, Walmart, and Barnes and Noble all have warehouses there.  

In the fall if you had antiquing and apple picking and all the usual small town activities to drive in the tourists in the winter time skiing, icefishing and all those related activities.

@Brian Barnes I would love to help you out.

I was also thinking if we could maybe meet up .. like in a Starbucks, Dukin Donuts or Barnes and Noble location? 

As I am in IT, the interest by Apple and Amazon for HQ2 in Raleigh initially peaked my interest at the time however the Raleigh market is consistently listed as a top contender in the multifamily space, along with Charlotte I might add.

for you as the landlord...Maybe a nice benefit that you can use to raise the rent, but if a renter has a choice between two units that are equal in every way, but one is $150 more a month because of the solar panels, I bet they'll go for the less expensive property...They'll think they're comparing apples to apples, when in fact you're offering apple plus a little extra.....I know that in theory they'll save more on utilities, but it's a variable saving and it might not translate well when they are looking at rent only.This also might have to raise your percentage when considering cap ex when trying to determine if its a good deal or not.

I find myself attracted to @Sandra Barnes perspective of having high end properties that don't attract headache tenants.  

@Clayton Barnes thanks for the heads up on the variation within the loop.

Our next buy-and-hold properties will, more than likely, be out of state.Our plan is to acquire around 10 to 20 properties over the next 5 years and then using the next 5 years to pay them off, swap out the bad apples, etc.
