The market is competitive, so I focused on being the best—from high-quality furnishings to top-tier management.

I currently work with investors in a few markets in TX and outside of TX on creating a turn-key portfolio and helping them manage on the back end. 

People with high risk tolerance will have a far different answer than someone who is risk averse. 

I'm a 26 year old from Long Island hoping to acquire my first rental property by the end of the year.

Indeed - I see bright future for North Carolina as a whole and for all major population centers like Charlotte metro, Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) and the Piedmont Triad region (Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point).

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development. 

You're gonna argue anything I say until the end of time.

If you are looking at a 30 yr fixed DSCR, high 8s-10s depending on LTV, PPP, and Unit Count Rates highly depend on the type of loan and your qualifications.

High performers everywhere swear by it.

I've been wondering about for a while how we can make guests aware of that without giving the impression that we're trying to force the to give us a high rating.
