Hi Braedon,Thank you very much, to be honest, the place where I started the business is what boosted the portfolio but with hard work, commitment and focusing on great service toward customers and owners alike. if you do a great work, then people will spread the news among their group and they will call you. 

It makes it easier for bad actors to commit fraud on their application.The article does say "The report will be made available to landlords at no cost and will have to be prepared by a consumer credit reporting agency" but landlords should be able to verify that somehow and ensure there have been no changes.

Setup a call w/ them through the marketplace and have a convo w/ them, ask them questions, create a realistic budget and expectations for the first year, and commit to sticking it out so the SEO has time to build momentum. 

It's important to choose that one and commit to using it.

However, my concern is:  would my parents be committing fraud by getting a HELOC, and then turning their primary into a rental just a few months later? 

As an example, let's say Jane T.

@Jay Hinrichs he said it was a 6 month commitment...

The 10Y T-bill is 0 risk, as the risk grows you expect a return reflecting the risk.

Unless you are local to the market, I would consider elsewhere.I think Charlotte long term is a great market, financial hub, good airport, population growth.I think if you commit to any of these markets, you will have successGino
