I truly believe the first rental property is the most important, less so financially, but most importantly to get you in the investor mindset and make it real! 

Any investors, contractors, or real estate professionals working in NC?

Hello, my is Jonathan Jackson I am new to the real estate investing world.

That's a LOT of $ to go to AZ, TX, FL, literally anywhere. 

This was my second foray into real estate investing, the previous one being through a “full service” turnkey provider.

This structure combines efficiency with enhanced privacy and protection for your real estate investments.Ultimately, there are plenty of ways to structure your investment real estate strategy, and the best approach often depends on your specific goals, the nature of the transaction, and your preferences for simplicity versus control

What Nathan said.You are following the red herring of the (real or imagined) roach problem, but the tenant just told you they cannot afford a $35/mo. rent increase in an under market rent apartment!

You're supposed to have a license in every state if you are representing either a buyer or a seller in a real estate transaction, or acting as an intermediary in the sale of real estate.

I have used both TSP loan and HELOC to purchase investment...I certainly thought the ROI from real estate was better than relying on highly fluctuating stock market. 

Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.
