Hi Steven,You can go after value add but most of those properties transacted in 2009,2010 and many sellers are selling off for yield plays cashing in the forced appreciation.

You are in a fantastic spot with your RV and some cash to play with to buy great flip or hold properties.

Funny part was they were trying to call and I wasn't picking up because I was playing xbox. :-)As for family, my aunt and sisters love to hear the real estate stories too.

I'm still in the "play where I stay" mode meaning that I'm concentrating on the Southpoint area since that's where I live.I'd assume that some of the Northgate and Duke areas would be good stable places based on my limited knowledge.I'm hoping to buy another property later this year.

thanks Brandon, ill have a play around with all the features.

And "good" can be defined as academically good, or it can be a school with a great sports program that everyone wants their kid in.

re: LendersI think that answer depends on what your strategy is going to be and how much money you have to play with.If you're going to flip and have enough money to get a conventional purchase loan and pay the rehab out of pocket, then do it.

Scouting a home that the previous owner played builder on.

Just keep playing the numbers.

Also not to mention besides only watching sports on tv, my tv would stay stuck on HGTV.
