In the multi unit buildings I put on lease "Each tenant shares responsibility for removing snow and salting on both walkways and sidewalk infront of property" and I have them initial before we execute lease.

I have 0 experience ground up construction loan program nationwide that does NOT require GC to sign anything, only provide proof of 3 C/O's (certificate of occupancy) over the last year I.e. built received occupancy permission now unit is on market or habitable. 700+ FICO I can get you 80%LTC loan to cost on the project on ground up construction for 1-4 units.

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.

This burnout led to me selling off my rentals, dissolving my business with family, and having my mother take over managing her own units.

If rent is 1500 per unit, well, now you are $6000  (1500 * 4) in deficit right from the start.

. $150 cash flow on any rental especially a triplex is dangerzone imo. 1 month of vacancy of 1 unit could destroy a years worth of financial gains.  

After the crash of 07 to 09  that area had a 11 YEAR supply  yes 11 Years.. you had condo towers built  U know 300 units and only 20 sold the rest were vacant. it was a mess.

He was pay ed to install a AC unit in my home and disappeared  he refuse to answer the phone calls texted massages he stole my money and won't respond 

My partner and I have a couple units we manage as well in Washington DC.

I can do this as I manage over 60 units and it makes the most sense, and I beat the market every month.If I had 1-5 units, I would like use PriceLabs (or Beyond Pricing) and use their base tech as well as manually checking things at minimum weekly.
