Looking Glass Realty - Paul Wilander services Buncombe, Transylvania and Haywood county. In my opinion, one of the best, if not the best in our area. Check out Johnson Property Group - Chuck Johnson as well. Feel free to let them know I recommended them so they have a reference point.  PM me if you need anything else. 

My understanding is that it is hardwired to the panel, but then your on/off button is mounted on the wall much like a light switch or electrical outlet. 

Water Cop - i caretake for some clients who have these in their homes. So far, so good! 

Having a hard time finding contract you referenced. Any chance you can send a link? I’ll keep searching in the meantime. Thanks! 

Will do - thanks for the direction. 

Does anyone have a simple loan contract with a 5 year balloon payment? Want to see an example so I can draft one for possible use of future real estate deals.

My wife and I have 2 rentals in Walhalla, SC, but are NC residents. The largest property tax bill we have is $1350, but the rents are high enough and cash flowing quite well that it is still worth it for us to stay in the game there. My realtor, now close friend, would have more reasons why the 6% would be a non-issue when thinking about investing there. He’s is Seneca. Would be happy to get you two connected. Call or message me if you’d like. 828.200.3400. 

My wife and I just went through this in North Carolina. I am self employed and she is a high school director. Call me to discuss and then I can can also send you some emails we received from our bank. Easier phone call than to write a book on this post. 

An investor friend of mine uses Quickbooks which he sends an invoice to the tenant and they have the option to either pay via check or click on credit card payment. Personally I’ve been using Venmo - has been quick, convenient and easy for my 3 rentals/tenants. 

I have used a luxury peel and stick vinyl that looks and works great for one of our rentals. We were able to grout it as well. Was skeptical at first, but heard someone in Bigger Pockets used it and thought I would try. Great product (bought it from Lowe’s).
