I'm seeking your insights on purchasing an investment property (focusing on equity growth and self-sustainability) near Wake Tech - Southern Wake Campus and the McCullers area.

Whether it's regulations on eviction, tenant rights, or property maintenance, being aware of these rules can save you from future headaches.

I'm looking at getting into the world of property management via a franchise.

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $20,000Purchased the property off-market directly from the seller during Covid-19 pandemic after relocating home to CT from living in NYC.

I would just be careful if you have the right to the land as well, becasue some countries in Asia only will allow you to own the actual property. 

I’ve heard the horror stories of TX property tax so I looked for low property tax. 

You have a right to maintain your property and the tenant must give you access.

I assume you're talking about buying the property at the foreclosure auction, if not then it would just be about getting ahold of the owner and seeing if they would sell it to you.If you are aiming to buy it at auction, this is a really good article to read: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/buying-house-auctionMost important thing is to make sure 1) you are buying the 1st mortgage and not a second and 2) make sure you know if there are any tax liens on it as those don't get wiped out in foreclosure.

First, short term, I'd like to expand my portfolio of just one property into 2 by househacking by owner occupying a multi property.

Hey Jason,Sounds like it is time for you to refinance your properties into DSCR loans.
