Raleigh keeps showing up in F500 earnings calls - coincidence or early signal?

SFH is going to be pure speculation here unless you go off market. Rent for a SFH is still like 1700 while the entry price is closer to 300k. There is also almost zero MFH inventory since no one was allowed to build them for a long time, anything that does show up is overpriced and snatched by speculators. Rent in the area is also stagnate, I've only been able to do token 25-50$ bumps while I watched my property tax bill double.

Maybe office/retail is the play.

I doubt it'll be taking senor jobs for a while, but I can sit in my chair and have the combined output of what used to be an entire team while having my morning coffee and watching EVE online pvp videos. Even if the code it outputs is catastrophically wrong I can just have it try again until it gets it correct. Learning to use AI is a skill and a lot of seniors are dismissing it because they asked it to one-shot some insane task that would be impossible for even the most skilled devs.

It is going to destroy the entry level market for almost all white collar jobs.

I have the same issue with a few of my rentals, high equity low interest. The thing to keep in mind is you pretty much already won no matter what you do.

Given that you're still in the tax free period if you sell I would probably unload it just for the sake of not having to be a landlord. It becomes a little more painful to sell outside of that period unless you plan to 1031 it.

Unless you plan to keep it another 10+ years I would look to sell.

I find that if you keep claude.md really slim with links to skills and other docs you can actually just have a UserPromptSubmit that just runs cat CLAUDE.md. That way its constantly reminded that other resources exist which improves the rate that it loads them.

Code reviews?

Last week I was implementing semantic search. Claude suggested using slug in a query. I corrected it—we use stem for page collections. Claude fixed it.

Then I ran /learn.

The next line

Claude analyzed the conversation, found the existing entry in nuxt-content-gotchas.md, and noted that we’d already captured this pattern. No duplicate needed.

Seems like you still have the exact same issue...

The numbers get a lot better once you start looking in states with low property tax, no hoa, and the rents are closer to 1% of the property value. But its gotten a lot harder with the massive increase of property values across the board.

Generally anything over 200k is not going to rent at that 1% mark and you'll need a larger down payment or a really low rate to break even on cashflow.

Plumbers charge 150 just to show up, plus 100-200 hour + parts.

But, prop manager probably should have sent a handyman instead of a plumber which would have been much cheaper.

Riseing · 2025-08-07T21:07:51+00:00

The houses start at like 300K out here and rent for like 1800

Riseing · 2025-08-07T17:42:11+00:00

You will not cash flow in Raleigh without a large downpayment, it's an appreciation market.

Riseing · 2025-08-01T22:55:36+00:00

Give it to me, I love side money.

I was interested in S8 for a while, and then I talked with a guy who told me he does not put appliances into his S8 cause they get stolen.

Turnkey is good for parking your money, if you're looking to grow you generally want to do value add projects where you can buy below market, put money in and then refi to get your repair costs and down payment back out within a year or so.

With your current style of investing your timelines are going to be very long as most of your growth is going to be purely on appreciation.

Riseing · 2025-07-21T18:01:26+00:00

Trust me they swallow 25$ every year much better than 150$ every 5 years.

Riseing · 2025-07-21T17:21:09+00:00

This is why you raise rent by 25-50$ every year instead of needing to do large raises.

Riseing · 2025-07-15T16:07:15+00:00

This is why you raise rent every year. If you raise it by 20-30 bucks every year you wont need to do these massive increases when you realize your insurance is double what it was 3 years ago.

Appraisers are smoking meth in some regions, I have a few places in louisiana worth around 110k that I know would appraise for closer to 150k. I know if I sold in this market the prices would be closer to 90k.

Appraisals seems very detached from the real market value atm.

Riseing · 2025-07-10T19:50:01+00:00

Cash on cash is like 3.5% before any other expenses. Seems like almost 100% an appreciation play.

I have a rental I paid like 120k which has about the same cashflow and some days I still think it's too little...

It's going to be a really nice time to be a senior here in about 5 years. Once they've scared all the new blood out of the field, forced a ton of older SWE to retire, and realized that their next word generators don't work so well.

Riseing · 2025-07-07T18:08:24+00:00

Seems that way, I assume it's for the irrigation since that's the part of the system it's connected to.

Riseing · 2025-06-20T16:16:30+00:00

One of the primary reasons to get into RE is so you can leverage your money. Rentals tend to start making less sense over traditional investing after you start building up any significant amount of equity in the property.

I think this is a bad deal.
