For this reason, I would not budget this much time in. I

As far as an investment property goes, however, (one that I wouldn't live in) I would personally much prefer one in a suburb of Raleigh rather than Asheville.

However, the community this is located in is unable to allow short term rentals, so it will continue to be a buy and hold property for long term rentals.

Can I get a loan from a bank showing them I can pay the mortgage with the rents coming in? I

I would like to sell both houses to the same buyer and use the proceeds to buy a rental in Pa and fix my own handyman special I now live in. I

There's definitely a lot traction when Spring/Summer kicks in. I

I was born and raised in Hammond,IN. I

I spoke with a broker today and they said when I put an offer in, I still need to have a "pre-approval" letter from a lender to the seller.

I think it's a rather challenging, but a very important step if you're going to buy out of state, because most of your returns will be dictated by the macro-economic conditions of the market you're buying in. I

Seems like every time I go in, I get 40-50% off.
