@Evan RekowskiWhy North Carolina Beats Out the Others (and Why We Chose It)We prioritize states with growing populations (to keep vacancies low) and jobs in stable sectors like tech and healthcare, since that sustains rent increases.

Here’s why: Residential agents often focus primarily on primary-home sales or leasing and may not fully understand investment nuances like ARV, STR/LTR/MTR, market demographics, employment trends, local businesses, transportation, and other amenities—all of which significantly impact returns.A seasoned commercial advisor works with investors, business owners, and corporations across multiple sectors (hospitality, healthcare, land/development, industrial/flex, office, etc.), giving you perspective that most residential agents simply don’t have.They operate statewide and even nationally, and they have a network of experienced vendors at your disposal.
