Either a single family primary home on a double lot for us to build an ADU or a multifamily property consisting of a duplex or triplex.

Maintaining a strong and positive relationship with borrowers involves clear and consistent communication, setting realistic expectations from the start, and being transparent about all terms and conditions.

Your concerns will likely be less with the tenants and more about learning things the previous landlord didn’t handle (deferred maintenance, whether the tenants pay on time consistently, etc)all the best!

The requirement to have a realtor license, according the Maryland state statute 17-102, does not apply when (among other things)"an owner or lessor of any real estate while managing, leasing or selling the real estate, unless the primary business of the owner or lessor is providing real estate brokerage services or...a person while acting in the capacity of a personal representative" Sounds like a carve out for representing yourself to me.Which would be consistent with the NC definition of a realtor as anyone who buys, sells, leases...real estate for others for compensation.

I have a few other rentals already and have been consistently earning well between all my investments, my job and my wife's job.
