Live in Charlotte, looking at a place in Greensboro

If it’s in GBO proper, check into students at NCAT and UNCG. Based on my experiences with the NCAT students, a lot of them are wealthier and come from out of state and their dorms aren’t the best, so often their parents just pay to have them off campus, which at a school where tuition is 6-12K a year is very reasonable.

Hi all, I’m in the north east metro area and due to the current RE market we decided to look into PA specifically Lancaster. Anyone in this market and have any thoughts on where it’s headed?

The last owner bought for 35k like 15 years ago 😩 but hoping buying and holding for a few years will give a equal or greater returns over the long run.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
