Post: Strategy for first rental property in Raleigh

Cash flow is tough in the triangle right now. The outskirts like Garner, Fuquay, Clayton and Angier seem to be a little better. I’d suggest starting there or heading down into the Sandhills a little bit. Housing prices are much cheaper and you’ll always have renters with Fort Bragg being close by. Aberdeen and Southern Pines are two of my favorites that I usually hit for quick flips that I sell pretty much always to investors.

My thoughts are even if there’s a recession. The fact that RTP keeps bringing in jobs and companies want the talent coming out of UNC, Duke and NCSU will keep the market hot for a long time. Plus the worse hit the high tax/high income areas are by poor central economic planning the more people from those area will continue to see the triangle as a refuge. I fully expect at least another decade of growth before any cooling occurs

Holly Springs is quickly growing and an excellent place to invest in my opinion. There’s a bypass (540) that connect holly springs directly to RTP. There’s a ton of development going on in southern wake county and it should continue to appreciate for foreseeable future.

Looks great! Knightdale is definitely an emerging area. Wouldn’t surprise me if you could get close to $180k for it post renovation in this market. Prices in Wake County seem to be going up daily. So it’s a great place to invest
