Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 1992. 42.5% of the stock is pre-1980 — budget for older wiring, plumbing and the paperwork that comes with it.
Deal flow clusters in 27406, 27405 and 27260. Those ZIPs lead Guilford County on investor purchases, so they repay attention first before working outward through the rest of the county.
Acquisition pace is cooling: 453 properties bought in the last 12 months against roughly 576 the year before, down about 21%. Fewer buyers are competing per deal, which usually means more room to negotiate but a longer search for the right one.
Half of investor purchases here close below $175,000. Average and median nearly agree here ($196,000), which makes comps unusually reliable.
Strategy here skews to buy & hold, which accounts for 46.4% of tracked deals. Because these buyers underwrite to cash flow, a credible rent figure moves a deal further than a renovation estimate.
