Possibly looking for a few quick flips to than use that money and apply in Rental Units.

People are flipping houses here. Demand for housing is high in New Bern since we lost so many houses in Hurricane Florence. Houses in good areas are selling quickly right now, and real estate prices are rising here. Flooded houses that have been renovated don't look like they are selling as quickly though. And most of the contractors in the area are backed up with work, so finding someone to do the work quickly is a challenge. I know that doesn't answer your question directly, but that's a snapshot of what's happening in the area.

Yeah, we bought a bunch of hurricane damaged townhomes in New Bern and have had a real challenge finding contractors, so we actually had to bring people in from out of market.   If you're doing the work yourself then, yes, I think it would be a great area.   If you're looking to hire everything out I would go a little further inland.
