What this means for LTR investors

Gross yield of 6.16% is below the 7% LTR sweet spot; you'd lean on appreciation here.

Rent grew 4.2% YoY while values moved 2.9%. That gap drives whether yield compresses or expands over time.

Renter share is 34% - a deep renter pool means lower vacancy risk in North Carolina.

Median income of $67,481 sets the affordability ceiling on rent growth.
