MrBeast Put Greenville NC on Creators’ Radar

0:00Great no more Kalana is not just a quiet college town anymore and it has turned to a global capital of the digital world. And this is practically now, everybody knows it's the home of Mr. Beast. Never met him but that's okay because really this is a place where people realize that if you want to buy a home and build life, you can, especially if you're in the digital space and you understand this. So the region is moving away from the old farms, the old cotton, and into the new digital era. And the local economy is powered by digital creators and high tech workers. And of course, you know, Mr. Beast grew up right here. Exactly. Therefore Jimmy Donaldson and or Mr. Beast, that he's very famous, nearly basically they grew up right here in Greenville, North Carolina. And this is another major industry for whole of the city of Greenville, North Carolina. And beside the healthcare education and manufacturing that we have in the area in Greenville, North Carolina. Greenville is now a cool place for digital creators and a forward thinking place.

1:01And for people looking to buy real estate, this is an opportunity because basically what's happening is economic arbitrage. This is a fancy way of saying, I do like my econ right world. But as me said, if you want to have a great life and keep your costs low and Greenville is much more affordable than many other places, the big cities in North Carolina. For example, renting an apartment in Raleigh almost cost you 41% more than in Greenville, North Carolina. But as a real estate agent, most of us, Alan Victoria Pinder, we wanted to talk about the power of owning your home. And in Greenville, North Carolina, typical home basically value is around $232,000 at the time of this video. And in Raleigh, the same lifestyle would cost you something around $453,000. That means you're getting double the house with your own money. Plus, of course, utilities and healthcare are often lower here too, which means the financial freedom that you have means you can take more of your money and invest it where you want

2:02in your business and your family. And so Greenville is often called the Silicon Valley of content creation. It's not exciting. But the gross basically is not just happening in the center of the city. Near by towns like in the North Carolina, Grimesland, North Carolina, and also they are seeing home values going up, which you can look at our last and updated housing market in our channel in the different channel that we have. In the last five years, basically home prices in Grimesland, for example, have increased by over 46%. And so if you're looking at buying a home, it can be a very, well, it was a, it's a long term investment. It was a very smart one in our area. And now if you want to stay with the already in the creative vibes in our area, I'm going to say we have to look at Farmville, North Carolina. Farmville is about 15 minutes from ECU campus, but it has transformed from farming to a really an artsy place. So it's the artsy on-play.

3:03Exactly. So the town is famous for the ECU glasses station, which is word-class, glass-blowniest studio, you know? I've never visited to be honest. I'm going to be honest. Okay. And they turn an old glasses station into a place where people create an amazing arts for you. And some of the arts have moved in. A hundred percent of our local businesses, shops are now more open, and Farmville has more murals, more outdoor galleries, and more special events, and special artworks every single month. So this town is also the home of the North Carolina furniture school into several art gallery, which is nice. So it's a very small town. We have high-end boutiques and coffee shops that are you can't, you would only find it in a big city. Also, we should mention that the median home value in Farmville, North Carolina at the time of video is around $200,000 to $3,000. And that makes it a perfect place for for some home buyers or people that are moving from other part of the state of the United States to our area to get to this market that is still

4:05is under value, even under the national median value. We're really just makes it the first time, a great place for buyers, especially first time buyers. And the local university, ECU, is making sure that a lot of digital creation still happens and a lot of art still happens. They partner with Mr. Bees to make sure they have special training and digital media. So at ECU, there are teaching students how to be editors, managers, camera experts. And this means that big companies are looking at Greenville because the talent is already learning here. Exactly. ECU basically even has highly innovation hub with the professional video at studios for this student. This is amazing. No, maybe I'm watching this video and you didn't never know about it. There are even talks about $100 million dollars donation to university athletic program. This is huge. It shows that people making money here are committed to give back to the community, to give back to the city of Greenville. And if you work from home, Greenville, North Carolina has the best technology to support

5:06you. Now with the Utility Commission, there's one award for future focused technology. So they are internet and cyber security, keep your work safe. But there's also, if you want to get out into the world but still work from home, we have a lot of co-working spaces that are growing and you can rent an office for a day, a week, a month. Plank co-working is a great spot in the uptown for digital nomads, focus hub, I can give you a list of like five of your looking form, focus hub is another one where you can get your work done. And there's even a business center where you have a dedicated podcast for creators. That's crazy, you know, therefore basically this infrastructure makes it easy to move here to Greenville, North Carolina and start working on day one. As we talk about all this technology, all the digital creation and Greenville, North Carolina is also has a beautiful place to live with many nature, preserve and the river parts. We have a trolley that is actually piece of the public art on wheels. Now the uptown district has more restaurants and shops for the younger tech study crowd.

6:07North Carolina of course is being recognized as one of the best states for businesses. And Greenville is right in the center, we're not the capital, but we are in that success moral zone. Absolutely. It's called the cluster effect where people are moving here to be near other creators. We have creators wanting to be near other creators, so they move here. Exactly. Therefore you can even meet people at networking events or social club for digital works and digital and this collaboration is something that you won't find it in a big and expensive cities and Greenville, North Carolina and Farmville, North Carolina. Now they offer a mix of a small town with the big city innovation at the moment. So it's a perfect environment for the next generation of entrepreneurs, so everything is here. You can buy a home, win your means, and then you can also do your global trends nationally. Wouldn't prices are affordable and as price is rising, we do like to keep this a bit of a secret. But you don't want to wait until this region becomes so expensive and you want to be like rolling or LA. That's crazy, doc. So what I was saying in a home here is an investment in your future and that is really

7:10kind of thing. And investing in your home means you have a place of your own to where you can now feel a little more secure in growing your career as well.
