Maybe someone local has dealt with the rent board there. 

I'm excited to learn everything I can and connect to local investors I can follow! 

Hi Colin, Bristol is a very local community.

Research the local market and set clear investment goals.

Fast food, you can go local and not franchise with this.

If this is for wholesale purposes you will cover more ground connecting with lenders, and local meet ups.

Local investor in the area, happy to chat over a call sometime or grab coffee if you're in Raleigh

We are in the process of consulting  with local commercial real estate agents too.

@Jaron Walling Hi, i have been working at my families local restaurant since i was a kid. it pretty much doesnt operate smoothly without us being there but it is getting tiring and my parents who have been working these hours much longer than i (they are immigrants from albania hence why i also bust my ***) dont want to continue doing this forever. i also do some FB market flips and have an online store. i just hustle to do whats needed. i have low expenses so this has allowed me to save alot for investments. 

if she is, she has no tenant rights and can be evicted quickly (on a Federal level, state or local level may have different rules).
