I'm new too, but excited to see so much activity in NC here on bigger pockets. 

So after looking around I realized the potential in NC.

Looking for cash out refinance options in NC.The lender I am working with said,they can cash out refy for 75% LTV.now they are saying that rules changed .they only cash out what I have spent. Otherwise wait for 6 mont...

Assuming your property is in NC , This LAW may be relevant to your situation ;§ 42-45.1.

My husband and I are also looking to make the jump from lurker to actual investor after years of research.We used to live in Jersey, but we are looking to invest in NC.

Sure enough, there was one aspect of the lease that was not allowed by NC law (daily late fees), but all else was essentially fine as-is - and I had noticed that one myself in just reading the law on the general assembly website.

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $318,000 This was in an up and coming area in Raleigh, NC (near Downtown Raleigh) and bought it originally to be a personal residence and after a few years rent it out.

We just started to learn about Real State reading books and chatting with investors around our area (Charlotte, NC).

I was talking to a newer investor 2 days ago and he is from NC close to where you're looking at in Durham and said the exact same thing you mentioned.

Fortunately, the property is in North Carolina and not here in California where things are exponentially more expensive and complicated.
