But a 4-night stay for 2 persons?

There is a big difference in how those are handled  HAHA I just saw a post and commented where the person wanted to ask if they should overpay for a home because they can get is seller financing.

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

Quite the opposite - I invest my personal money as just one more member, in each investment we end up doing as a club. 

But if you can find an investment that pushes out beyond the next 2 or 3 years into a  “different” financial environment you might have a better risk reward return. 

I haven’t done my first deal yet, but through hiring a local contractor to build my personal residence I had this idea that I don’t hear people talking about.

I am days/weeks away from trying it at my personal residence.  3500 sqft but only two people using it, so not sure how good of a test it will be. 

Personally, my favorite way of sourcing deals is building relationships with brokers and nurturing those relationships by checking in consistently.

Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

I do know that unless a person knows what they’re looking for and how to close, it can take a lot of leads to get a deal to the finish line.
