Hey everyone
Im a college student from Durham, NC but am trying to start investing in the Alamance area due to the lower prices of homes. I have spent the last 3 years in the Alamance area, but have just begun researching the possible investments. Being a new investor to the area I would like any information from an investor already in the area, such as:
Where is the best location to invest?
Do you know any good realtors specifying in investing?
Welcome to BiggerPockets. I can see the appeal of real estate investing in Alamance County. I've been looking at the area as well. I would look at proximity to I-85 and related to that, drive time to the Triangle - on both fronts, the shorter the better. As the Triangle grows and gets more expensive, more commuters will move that way and I think these areas are going to go up in value and see strong rental demand.
Here's a couple of suggestions. First, check out Triad MLS; they have a more comprehensive inventory than Zillow. Second, check out Triad REIA which has a subgroup for Burlington investors; https://www.triadreia.org/. Finally, Bill Sandford might be a good agent to talk to. I only spoke with him briefly but he sells a lot of single family in the area. I'm looking for multifamily and that's not what he specializes in.
