BP Community,I are new to real estate investing in NC.

Hi my name is Markcus Miller and I'm a real estate agent! I'm a navy reservist with three successful deployments under my belt. My dad was retired army and my mother was a nurse. I think the biggest thing my parents t...

Thank you pros for being patient with this newb lol In NC, pre-foreclosure means the owner is in default, a court action has been filed, and the process (foreclosure process, power-of-sale by state law) has not completed.

The biggest hurdle I am looking to overcome right now is figuring out how to evaluate my market (Charlotte, NC) and calculate repair costs.

Caleb,Based on nothing else that the fact that I just enjoy visiting these places, I would say Asheville, NC or Chattanooga, TN, not actually sure what those markets are like.Right now I cover territory from Augusta, GA to Columbia, SC and I am based in Aiken, SC.  

My family and I live in Durham, NC where we've resided since the late nineties (including stints in Chapel Hill and Raleigh, maybe one day we'll make it to Cary!).  

How do you characterize the real estate market in the Carolinas (Asheville NC to Greenville SC) ?

Right now i am in learning mode iam planning to move to wake county, nc in around 2 years from now.

I can speak from experience, although in NC and not GA.

Houston is a great market but not all areas are great with some better than others.Most of my clients are buying in the warmer climate states. ( example: Georgia, Florida, Texas, NC,SC,TN, etc.).Most of the retiring older generation  in the tens of millions are migrating toward these warmer climate areas.
