208 E Davie St Raleigh, NC 27601 Two Large Balconies in the Middle of Downtown Raleigh

Follow the urban trend today! Downtown Raleigh is likely the most coveted living location for today’s renters. Those who don’t live here likely wish they did, and those who do swear they’ll never leave. Downtown Raleigh is highly accessible, and Five Points is a short jaunt away. We could spend days listing all the restaurants, clubs, pubs, breweries, shops, and entertainment such as Marbles Museum & IMAX. The famous Boylan Bridge view is a short distance as well, as just about anything you could need from yoga, fitness/gyms, dance, coffee (many more than just Starbucks), games, coworking space, area hospitals, concerts, festivals, sporting events and just about anything else you can imagine in a major metro downtown central business district. This is the premier location for the area with no true nearby rival. Also on the rare occurrence where you do have to get in a car or take one of many bus routes, downtown is central to almost all major highways and you have surprisingly easy access to other parts of the Triangle such as Research Triangle (RTP), Durham, Cary, Apex, Garner & more!

Because landlords get locked onto peak summer rental rates, and fail to understand how swift moving the rental market is, it’s extremely common for homes that didn’t rent in early August to still be on the market in December, but 15-25% lower. That’s 3+ months of avoidable vacancy (about $5k in these examples, as of now),plus as shown a $200 discount or $2400 in year 1. Grand total = $7,500 to find out that fall isn’t summer in rental housing. Unfortunately, it happens every year for my 20+ year career, often to the same people over and over. This isn’t investment it’s a pet project driven by bias.

Buying A Home Is Becoming Much More Expensive Than Renting One The extra costs that homebuyers take on to access these benefits - has been growing quickly. But the rental market is unquestionably cooling, and as a result more families are revisiting the "buy or rent" decision.

The costs associated with homeownership -- beyond just the listing price -- are increasing rapidly

10/01/2026

What this image shows is that for rental investors the "rent" is practically just a subsidy while you hold a hard asset in the face of deep devaluation of the US dollar. Holding the asset is the investment (backwards from how it should be due to govt policies), the rent is just a bonus. To be fair, a lot of investors bought cheap homes on cheap blocks and they will often find themselves in bad shape but for smart purchases it's almost impossible to lose these days. That's complicated by our expectation that corporate bailouts (not housing) that will dwarf 2008 are just around the corner.

If You Want to Get Rich, Rent DON’T BUY? Or At Least Don't Assume You Have To Without Doing the Math.

This is a fascinating take and certainly brings up some great points, but in 2025 we think owning a quality home of any kind is likely to be a great idea as inventory dwindles. Particularly for homes with timeless charm and unique characteristics and some land associated with them it would be hard to go wrong as an owner.
