I've spent many hours studying the creative techniques and am ready to get started, but I live in Charlotte, NC which the Wallstreet Journal has dubbed on of the ten worst rental real estate markets in the country right now. This is quite apparent as I drive through town noticing all of the homes for rent and houses for sale. Apartments have been overbuilt and are now offering 3 months free rent. I don't want to purchase a property and be stuck without a buyer or tenant for months as I don't have enough reserve cash to cover that.

Can any of you tell me where the RE market is hot on the East Coast, or how to find this out? I would prefer to invest as close to home as possible.

Thanks much!
