With a milder climate, lack of natural disaster, good economic opportunities, and decent governance, NC has a bright future.

@Kaleb JohnsonRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

The very tragic LA fires have generated a lot of discussion about insurance costs. People have been dropped by insurance companies in wildfire areas and had to scramble to try to find insurance - some using California...

But I also wasn't expecting the promotion to apply for a 28-day booking.

I'd really like to see something legal in nature that supports the deal failure, however I'm not sure exactly what to ask for. 

It assumes the property is Class A - which not a lot of investors are acquiring these days.Here's some copy & paste info about property classes:_____________________________________________________________________________Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

After that is done, head over to IRS.gov and apply for your EIN (Tax ID).

I've heard it first-hand.A mortgage person that understands income producing properties applies 75% of the rent towards your income.

But the lessons I've learned during those days surely applies to my everyday hustle .
