My own analysis and viewpoint is that it might have some room to grow with the rapid transit line coming in the next couple years.

@Kim Newman KanneyKim - There are many financial planners / advisors that are not worth their weight in salt and are a detriment to my industry as a whole...

I'd say the economic level rapidly declines as you move inland pretty much anywhere.Some tourist towns in the mountains would be Boone, Blowing Rock, Asheville.  

Prices fluctuate rapidly as do levels of coverage. (5) Maintenance and CapEx - Typically, they say you should budget 3% to 5% for each (as a % of rent) but that is a bit of a silly rule.

Knowing what market to invest in is important, but if you don't know your strategy or your Why, the market you choose could be in total opposite support of your goals. ie investing for cashflow but you're looking at a rapidly appreciating market.

I am running into appraisal issues quite a bit in this market as the market is rapidly appreciating.

Many suburbs have their own process for inspecting buildings as part of the sale process, and non conforming units in the suburbs can rapidly become illegal units which is a whole different animal.

The inspector will give you a detailed report worth its weight if they find something you may overlook.

Self Management is becoming a bit cumbersome....so I am trying to weight out some options. 

It's a great strategy if you are in a rapidly appreciating area where the rents haven't caught up.
