You are entering a full time business - not “investing”.  

It’s a strong market for building experience and momentum.Charlotte is a healthy, growing market with better appreciation potential, but the higher entry cost and competition can slow your first few deals.

And how are you adjusting your pricing or underwriting with the current market?

“Stock” market, not the “Housing” market crashes.  

My husband and I have been investing here for the past 15 years, I'd be happy to chat about our experience and answer any questions I can about our market. 

Read a bunch of BiggerPockets book as part of a course I took by Derek Moneyberg called Real Estate Riches.I live in Tokyo and want to invest in the Japanese market despite the many difficulties involved in the market here (depreciation, shrinking population, etc, deflation, etc.)I think the best way for me to get started is to buy a property in Central Tokyo and house hack, I have probably between 50k-100k liquid that I can use, but I'd like to get financing for a bigger property if possible. 

The other thing with comparing these 2 would be MLS deals are easy to find, off market is not.

For vacancy/ loss  I am using 5-8% depending on exact location because that is about how long it takes to fill a unit in my market (3-5 weeks).

Also you should market to both builder-developers and investors.

Despite this upside surprise, the unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%, the highest since late 2021, as 470,000 people entered the labor force.
