One of the main reasons that housing prices are being driven up right now is due to investors creating additional demand, therefore driving up market value. 

The same probate court has accepted my filings in objection, but everything is backed up right now and there are many burdensome factors in play. 

I'm looking at few properties now in my area, but with the market so tight, getting anything turnkey has turned out to be either out of my price range or bought up right away by investors with a lot more buying power. 

Such as, sitting upright (don't slouch or lean), be attentive, ask thoughtful questions, use professional language, and the list goes on.One last thing: I like to send a thank you email with a brief 'pitch' if you will, based on how the interview went and what was discussed.

Piggy backing off of what @Tim McGarvey said. the area directly between the triad and triangle areas is blowing up right now. i believe that Burlington is one of the top 5 markets in the country right now or close to it.

If you just sold one and are buying two properties now, you should be focusing on getting the value of those up right away.

STR are great but as with anything those numbers must line up right.

Even in my market it’s hard on the bottom and middle class with things going up right now. 

Yes, the income property loan is what we initially had in mind but getting the cash for a down payment is our hang up right now.

That being said make sure you set it up right, visit it and make sure everything is working and in great condition.
