Don't know much about Whittier NC but it seems to be in the middle of nowhere.

My next question is if I purchase a $50,000 house in Raleigh, NC and plan on renting it out, well Zillow says my mortgage, insurance and property taxes would roughly be able $350 for a 15 year mortgage and estimated rent would be about $850 in that specific areas and generally rent is largely inflated around this area.

As a fellow property manager in NC who branched out on her own in 2010, nice meeting you!

Does anyone know of REIA meetings in or around the Charlotte area?

@Eric Black I can't guarantee this will be the same in other states, but in North Carolina, as a buyer it is always in your best interest to have an attorney - not the listing firm - hold your earnest money/escrow.

What's the general opinion of zip 28212, close to the old Eastland Mall location?  Looking to purchase my first investment property and would like to know what's the consensus of the area.  Anyone currently successfu...

I would like to chat with someone who has purchased rental property in NC.

Flipper to be in Charlotte NC

I have just started my own full service Real Estate Firm, Castle Gate Real Estate Group in Concord, NC, that's specializing in Property Management and wanted information on ways to pick up more/new clients that are owners.

I'm not sure about the laws in NC, but this isn't a bad strategy.First, if the aren't paying the HOA, then they aren't paying the mortgage either, so you don't know how much the additional penalties are.
