Once you build your local network, you'll occassionally stumble onto better deals.REHABSThis is where many OOS investors also get scammed. 

Here’s something I’ve noticed lately while running numbers on small multis (2–4 units) across the Triad:A lot of investors underestimate how strong the rent-to-price ratios still are here compared to other Southeast markets.Typical small multi deals I’ve been tracking:• Purchase price: $170K–$260K• Rents per door: $900–$1,200 depending on the neighborhood• PM costs: 8–10%• Taxes/insurance still relatively low• Most deals landing around 6.5%–8% cap with light value-addNothing crazy, but steady, predictable cash flow — especially for out-of-state investors who want an easier entry point than Charlotte or Raleigh.The biggest tip I’d give newer investors is:Run your numbers with OPPORTUNITY in mind, not perfection.Cash flow still exists here, but only if you look at realistic expenses and know what areas rent fastest.I’ve been checking out different pockets around Greensboro and High Point recently, and there are still opportunities.

I am just confused as to why some investors buy these kinds of homes?  

In addition, many are not investors.  

Hi ShenjutiIm an investor and licensed realtor id love to connect.

And what exactly are you looking for in an "investor-friendly" brokerage?

My investors, which are just family members and are not in the LLC, they give me cash and in exchange I pay them a percentage of the profit after a house I previously acquired with said cash sells (buy, fix, sell).

But when you actually look at the numbers, most investors aren’t running the math correctly, and that misunderstanding is why a lot of people get stuck, overpay, or get burned on the refinance.If you want to scale using BRRRR in 2025, here’s the math you must get right.1.

I work with newer investors who want quick, clear deal guidance so they can move with more confidence.I offer short calls where I walk through numbers, point out risks, and give a simple breakdown of what the deal actually looks like.

I was lucky enough to be grandfathered in, but I will never be able to sell the unit to an investor.
