NC real estate investment part 3. Which one of those 2 are better as an investment property?

Second one

Free feel to let me know if you think both of them are shitty

I prefer the first one. Can't get over the low prices.

Both of them are shitty.

R3 Thanks! Is it because of the external appearance?

Yes—these choices are getting worse, not better. High Point has much better options.

I thought you mean R4 🧐

R6 why do you think they are bad? Appreciate any feedback!

TBH just plain ugly.

R9 thanks for your honesty

Mostly the external appearance, also layout. And the first seems less encumbered by unchangeable decor. A renter can personalize it more easily yet their personal touches leave with them.

Any other options?

*opinions

R11 That’s a good point. I actually toured both in person and the second one was much good looking inside than it lets on from external. Upgraded finishes, luxury closets and relatively high ceilings creating the sense of a lot of open spaces. But still the drawbacks are apparently its less than impressive exterior and the lack of a garage

Nice houses, great prices, shitty state.

How much would you get in rent?

R16 around $1800-$1900

R15 which one is the better of the two from your opinion?

They pay all ultilities and do yard maintenance at that price?

R19 yes

The town is near Winston-Salem. The second looks a little better, but without seeing the properties in person, I am not definitive.

Why are you interested in these places in the first place? My understanding is that High Point is in a general decline because of the state of the furniture industry. The Triad seems tiresomely boosterish, but most of NC seems that way.

Any other thoughts

Ok I decided to not move forward with the second one.

Any thoughts?

As far as cities go, High Point vs Kernersville is 6 of one or a half-dozen of another. It just boils down to the neighborhood and the amenities you like.

I much prefer the layout of the High Point house, but I absolutely hate the decor that is in those photos. But the decor can easily be changed.

Don't like the layout of the Kernersville house at all.

R26 why do you prefer the layout of the high point house? Any details?

Kitchen seems to be hidden away in Kernersville. Kitchen seems to be a central part of the house in High Point, with much activity emanating from it.

Also seems like more living rom, den and dining room area in High Point.

Not a fan of the garage opening directly into the foyer area, as occurs io Kernersville house.

OP, can I ask you some basic questions? You pelted us with a shit ton of generic bullshit houses you were thinking of moving into in sad sack North Carolina subdivisions.. We didn't like your choices. Now you want us to to tour your potential slumlord possibilities? Am I getting this wrong? We DON'T care. Your tasteful friends on Datalounge and likely in real life think you have no standards and are alarmed. Please seek help from your realtor. Or a psychiatrist.

R29 why the bitterness? Is life not treating you well?

I like the first one. The second one looks like a trailer.

R28 That’s an interesting observation! The high point one definitely has more space. It’s actually much better looking inside than outside or the pictures. However the layout seems to be a little nonstandard/untraditional. It seems a little too customized in my view and not sure whether the majority of people will appreciate that style.

What is stick/site built home? I owned a Wick home. Prefab but builds and looks like real house not modular or mobile. Which is this?

We're bored AF with ugly North Carolina house porn. Do better. But you won't. Carry on then, I suppose.

I like to layout and the physical structure of the first house. The second one is shit. And the immediate neighborhood is shit.

The second subdivision would be a bitch to get in and out of during rush hours. The first is closer to a body of water - without being too close. That culvert running through the back yard means it’s ripe for a no-lawn policy, but that requires constant attention and an absentee slumlord isn’t going to make that happen.

Are you sure you wouldn’t be more interested in investing in Fentynal or meth? They hurt less people and provide a better ROI - although they don’t get all those lovely tax incentives….

R36 I will opt out fentynal or meth thanks. Which of the two houses do you think is better?

For the first property, would the steep driveway be an issue in your view?
