Im new to real estate investing. Been listening to BP podcast all throughout my college years and now that I’m finally out of college I am looking to buy my first property out of state.
I plan to do BRRRR method on properties under 120k and current looking at North Carolina, specifically the Concord and Raleigh area. Would appreciate any advice/insights on the NC market and would also be open to learning about other markets that may be a better fit for the BRRRR method. Would prefer cash flow over appreciation.
@Jonathan Lopez PM me you like. I'm a Fayetteville broker. We find our cashflow numbers to be much stronger than up in the Triangle area, primarily as a result of our lower prices. I would be happy to discuss more.
@Jonathan Lopez at that price point you won't find anything in Raleigh, even a distressed property. I have not done analysis on Concord so can't comment there if the price point will work.
If you are looking for that price point and a cash flow property look at markets like Fayetteville, High Point, Burlington and Rocky Mount. Some will have a bit lower property class but the trade off is cash flow.

I am a local real estate broker in Charlotte, NC. About 20 miles from Concord, NC. I work exclusively with real estate investors from across the country to help them invest in the Charlotte market and surrounding suburbs. Quite a few of them are from California. I would love to jump on a call with you sometime to talk about the opportunities here and see if this area would be something you are interested in. Just let me know
Hey @Jonathan Lopez, I live in Concord and I'll be happy to share the market insights about this city. Not necessarily in the strategy that you are looking for, but is a good guide that will help you decide in which markets to invest. I've sent you a PM.
I've grown up in Burlington NC, went to school in Raleigh, and Currently live in Charlotte! The one thing about NC that should get anyone excited is the population growth and real estate prices/rents. My point is that the state in general is a great place to purchase. For your price point I would add West Gastonia/Kings Mountain (new casino coming) or Burlington/Mebane (Raleigh/Greensboro commuter crowd) to your list.
