The standard legal procedure, as far as I understand in NC is the landlord must make reasonable effort to re-rent the property (which I will), and any vacant time till new tenants are found must be paid by previous tenants.

@Ming HuangRecommend 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?

I didn't know there was a different type of insurance that I needed.I had bought the home with a standard mortgage and standard insurance and then I decided later that I would flip it. 

These files were standardized forms that many other lenders in the past have given me up front or not long after the initial engagement.

Not one member has ever said an LLC saved them when a standard insurance policy.

Reason why is because FDIC Bankers "Do Not" charge points on traditional programs like primary homes, standard investment purchase and refinance, Second home/vacation homes.Lenders, Brokers all charge points to meet their Loan officer compensation plan (commission).

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

I plan to pull a standard lease agreement from the Florida Supreme Court website and review it with her next week.I have received a new job opportunity where I will be making an extra 40k annually and must move out of my home quicker than I initially expected.
