She of course is in a very different market than you are and it is a house she is living at.

They probably live at home or have a spouse that pays the bills.

Hi all, I'm looking to invest in this area because it's close enough to where I live (Orange County). 

Depending where you are, some utilities are attached to the house and some to the person living there. 

Each time on the first two I have bought in my name, renovated one side while living in the other, swapped sides renovating while living in the other, then rented out both sides when moving on to the next project.

I've bought a total of 8 houses in my life, while I can't touch many on BP, that's a lot to me...mix of primary residences as live in flips, normal primary, and 4 investments.

I live in the Raleigh NC  locale. 

My family cannot live around there.
