Hello, my partner and I are ready to buy our first home. However, we want to move to a new state (NC) from where we are currently (FL). What do we need to do to buy a house out of state? What processes and things should we be aware of when buying out of state? Can anyone recommend realtors in the Winston-Salem area? We need all the help we can get. Thank you! 

Hey Mary I’m a local investor in the Piedmont Triad area(Winston Salem, Greensboro and High Point). My partner and I closed on our 3rd investment property/primary in November 2023 in High Point. We own two properties in Winston Salem and decided to try out the High Point for the 3rd property. Winston Salem is a great city to own an investment/primary property. My partner is a realtor who services the Piedmont area and would love to assist you on your journey. Her name is Asha and you can reach her at 336-865-9359. 

Hi Sharon, 

I'm an out of state investor researching markets in NC and have just come across Winston-Salem. My price point is under $200,000. Looking on Zillow sold list there are plenty recently, but I would like the perspective of someone in the area. Any thoughts on if that price point is achievable? Also, only looking to do small reno at this point. Any insight is really appreciated!

Hey Jen,


I am born and raised in Winston Salem and it has grown tremendously. The city has been making big investment into the infrastructure and greenways/trails. Our biggest employers is Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Hospital with 14,000 employees. I made one of my rentals a mid term because of it. Now as far as finding a house for $200,000 is definitely possible. The areas would probably be a little less then desirable but can still work. Some of my favorite area codes are 27107 and 27127. 27127 is a big area code so you really need to study it to make sure it’s not a problem area. 27107 is the outskirts of Winston Salem where you will find more houses in neighborhood/family type of areas. Take a look at this post it will help you learn more about the city. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/921/topics/1083764-real...

Hey Jesus I’m about to close on a house in High Point and possibly can use a handyman. Do you service High Point?

Hey Samantha I am about to close on a property in High Point and curious to know how has your landlord experience been?

I really do appreciate these market updates very informative. I just might make High Point my next house hack.

Hi Will I’m in Winston Salem my partner and I just finish out first renovation in September. Very challenging but well worth it. We are now renting the house out room by room to traveling nurses. It’s going very well. I hope yours be just as successful.

 That's great. Did you use FurnishedFinder, Facebook groups, or connect with hospitals to place the travel nurses? How many BRs/BAs is it? How many hospitals are in the area? Congratulations on the achievement!

 Thank you. We used Furnished Finder and the house is located around two level 1 hospitals. It has 5BRs/3BAs.
