  Dude, u forgot about the Peddler steak house and 5 Star Chinese just to name a few, also Luna Italian restaurant....... really there's so many that it'd really be hard not to have an hour long episode just to come close to naming them all. Like the Big Easy restaurant or Jimmy V's...... Trust me there pretty much all worth at least a try, you'll fall in love quickly with one of them.😊

  Appreciate the content but I have to say that, as a new resident, Angus Barn and The Pit are two of the most overrated restaurants I've tried in the area. Prime BBQ in Knightdale and Dampf Good BBQ at Phillips Farm in Cary are miles ahead of The Pit. Still looking for a good steakhouse but Angus Barn, outside of the Christmas decor, is not worth the $$$. Cowfish was a good place to try because it's unique. Salt & Lime is great....Mezcalito should be in the next video. As a guy that married into a Mexican family, I can promise that Mezcalito is the best in the area. I need to try Death & Taxes soon.

  Interesting comparison. Dallas(DFW) is the size of Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High point and metro Charlotte combined and your still short 600k people lol! I’m not hating as I’m from NC and now reside in Metro Dallas. Austin would have been a better comparison, but even it’s more comparable to Charlotte these days.

  The lot sizes are large in much of the area north of 540 because that area is in the Falls Lake watershed, and it's a reservoir for the area. Large lot sizes means more $ for them, which means that the houses end up being pricier. The area just lends itself to single family luxury development.

  As a NC native, it's getting a little scary with all the transplants coming into Raleigh. A lot of people don't understand or respect southern culture but are swooping in and trying to pretend we're California 2.0. .... we are not. Raleigh is the city of oaks, but we may lose the name at the rate of trees that are being cut down 😅

•

  Speaking as a transplant myself I think everyone deserves a shot at finding a place they feel at home in. Raleigh is a hot spot for sure, as is Florida and Texas. It will be interesting to see how things develop on all fronts over time. Protect the trees! That’s why I moved here

  I’ve seen 1 since I’ve been here. It’s a good question. During the summer most likely of course. I spend a lot of time on trails here and just kind of keep an eye out in case. Coming from Texas originally I was already used to that issue. Haven’t seen bad tornadoes it’s a lot of small stuff. Same with hurricanes. We are kind of on outskirts of most natural disasters which is awesome

•

  The Redfin job is it associate or actual full time sales agent? The former might not get you enough tours to earn a full time living, despite the dollar per hour being amazingly high.

  Hi, apologies for any confusion. My rate was 6.75%. I’m assuming that was the example rate that was in my calculator that you saw. However, I do know some FHA and especially VA people who are taking on assumable loans in our market premium prices 3% rates. Pretty competitive though.

  Much appreciated with the vid. In the RTP area as well so this is definitely good info to have. Though definitely would be curious on a more in depth into the calculator as well. Sort of a 'What I needed to know when I added it to the calc and why?' As I know I'm still a bit knew to real estate ventures like this. But house hacking does sound really appealing so long as you can keep consistent tenants and such.
