@Ramada Evans yes that is all on you....you can go directly on airbnb/vrbo and do a search by the enemy method for houses that are similar to yours in size and bedroom/bathroom. 

@Alex ThomsenThe standard NC contract (2-T) has two different deposit options.

I’ve heard investors on this forum describe investing in notes (directly) as a passive investment.  

Your property listing can also be a great way to lay out qualifying criteria (i.e credit score minimum, and require a co-signer if lower).After conducting due diligence into a particular tenants situation, and you decided to proceed with an application approval, you could require a higher security deposit. 

Hi Matthew,I haven’t heard of those specific banks, but I have heard great things about Advanta IRA as a self-directed IRA custodian.

However, I have apparently missed the deadline to submit a deposit and I'm kicking myself pretty hard right now haha.Anyways, I'm curious if anyone out there is already registered for the Wayne County Auctions.

Additionally, the "implied warranty of habitability" obligates landlords to address pest infestations unless they result directly from tenant negligence.Lol how do I even respond?

@Roy Loganeither1. your own direct marketing to property owners, or 2. through someone else (a wholesaler, another investor, your network, your uncle's neighbor who wants to sell their house and doesn't want to list it and tells your uncle)

I also offer specialty deposits including real estate trust accounts.

Ideally, I’d learn by doing and would appreciate the opportunity to work with a mentor to help me get started.Any advice or direction is greatly appreciated!
