Local Realtors Participate In Fix A Home Project A wonderful community project completed by Chapel Hill Realtors, and local vendors!!

Chapel Hill Realtors and volunteers will repair a home Thursday as a part of their annual Fix a Home project. Greater Chapel Hill Board of Realtors Chairwoman Christine Khoury said repairs will be made to a Neville Road home belonging to a woman who cares for her son, a retired police officer who suffered a stroke. Preparations for the project began months before a family was selected. In order to be chosen, families must be physically and financially unable to repair their home. Local vendors and volunteers from the community have donated supplies, time and effort to the project as well.

Whether you are thinking about getting into real estate investing or not, thought you might like to know that with the lending crunch of late and fewer people able to get loans, there are more people needing rentals.  A recent professional appraisal of a duplex had zero vacancy factor!!  This is unheard of.  As I talk to my investors throughout Chapel Hill, they have their units fully rented and some with waiting lists.  The future bodes well for income potential in this regard.  As demand grows for rentals, the rent rates have started to rise in the investor's favor!  And appreciation in Chapel Hill is pretty steady from 8-12% per year, and sometimes as much as 40% on presale construction.  There are properties available now that have that type of potential, please give me a call and I will prepare my 5 page analysis on an invetment property when we meet.
