Hi Vijay,I think that the rental market in and around Greensboro will remain strong despite more investment activity adding to the supply of rental units.

@Duy Xuan DoYour plan to invest in Dallas, TX duplexes involves selling your house, saving, acquiring a property, and acquiring four duplexes for $400,000, with the remaining cash being $60,000.

This should eliminate the homeowner (1) selling a property while remaining liable for the note (subject to), (2) tying  up his property with a “buyer” who has no intent to close unless he finds someone to pay a higher price (wholesaler), (3) paying above market rental for an option to buy that can never be exercised (4) purchasing a property from a fix n flipper who did shoddy rehab, (5) purchasing a property with nebulous legal title, (6) contracting for home improvement with a fly by night contractor who then puts a mechanics lien on the property and (7) “listing” with a wholesaler disguised as a Realtor who doesn’t put the home on MLS. 

Not sure if your $100k estimate was total (in which case it is probably pretty accurate) or remaining (I will have a lot less than $100k remaining if I do not refi and have potential to be near cash neutral in less than a year if desired).  

I could , however my remaining entitlement is 211k , and the houses I would be looking at is 450k range so even though the Va loan has much more benefits because of the small remainder I Would need more down payment .  

The graduate school is less than 10 years old and still adding programs, and while dozens of people have begun converting old of homes/office spaces to rental units to capitalize on this obvious opportunity, it remains an investors paradise.The situation:The house is a ~1400 sq ft brick ranch style home on a good plot of land that we recently had surveyed and parceled into two individual lots.

Parking and crime downtown remain a challenge. 

Fiscal policy remains a dominant force in the U.S. and China.

Total checkable deposits for the bottom 50 remains high.

The remaining 25% of the gross rent will be absorbed by vacancy losses and ongoing maintenance expenses.When using a lease agreement, the lease agreement amount must be supported byForm 1007 or Form 1025, as applicable, orevidence the terms of the lease have gone into effect.
