With all the places in the world I could buy real estate, I am looking at North Carolina.  Specifically, I am looking at Asheville real estate.  Now, you might ask me why I would invest there, and the answer is simple - I have a lot of friends there.

Quite a few of my friends own Asheville condos and are very happy with them.  They have increased in value substantially since they bought them and they have bought other condos to rent out.  I have subscribed to a newsletter entitled "real estate for sale Asheville" which sends me weekly details on deals I can find in the region.

I haven’t found any deals that I want to jump on yet, but it doesn’t mean that I will stop looking.  Besides, I am not in a big rush, and I can wait to find a good investment property that fits my style instead of buying something that will be a bad investment.
