I am interested in North Carolina as a market to potentially invest in.Can anyone provide feedback on the market?

Happy to map out a game plan for you to not only qualify for this first property, but set you up for success for future properties.Best of luck!

If you ever have questions in the future about landlord/tenant laws in NJ feel free to reach out, I’m right in Burlington county.

I would say it's best to establish a long term relationship with who you prefer working with/someone who can service your needs now and in the future.

If you keep in Dad's name, just make sure that he does 1031 exchange out of any potential sale in the future if you don't want to write large checks to Uncle Sam. 

Again, that's all fine and good but the numbers have to work which is why I was hoping to speak to someone with first hand knowledge of owning a property or properties in the town without an axe to grind like the Seabrook sales people.On the issue of negative STR regulations roughly half the houses in the town are in their rental program currently so I don't see that as an issue in the future as an investor as it's baked into the town's business model and not likely to change.

(and potentially which which counties or towns would be considered the best ones) I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions Thanks in advance,Merry Christmas Edison 

I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! 

Purchase price: $230,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Long-term rental property with high appreciation potential.

In NC, when you speak to a potential seller, you are legally required to share with them that you're an agent even if you're there to buy their property or wholesale it off-market.
