Saying there are three people living there when only one is on the lease is good to know, but hard to prove; getting video documentation of three people consistently entering/exiting the property substantially alleviates that difficulty.During your due diligence process, you probably obtained a copy of the existing tenant's lease to review.  

Just need consistency

My buy box consists of a 2 bed/1 bath minimum property within 45 minutes of Raleigh, NC.

That is probably consistent nationwide.Send in your request now.

There are some good things mentioned here about other aspects to look at such as appreciation or tax benefits, but I totally understand wanting to cash-flow out the gate.

I’ve done a lot of research and needed that confirmation to make sure what I was finding is true, as there is a lot to think about especially when you add the traveling aspect of it!

The National Association of Realtors' studies indicate that this consistent demand, particularly in urban and suburban areas, underpins the market's resilience.2.

That seems more than just a RE investment: To me, the casino aspect of the investment would require specialized expertise (knowledge and individuals in place to make sure the business is a success) that seems to be a greater risk than the RE side of the deal.

Becoming an agent can be great, but I would say wholesaling is just as good if done right.Here are what I would say are the two most important aspects to successful wholesaling, coming from someone who hasn't successfully flipped a contract but who has bought multiple deals from wholesalers:1.

Financially this deal makes sense; however, I am concerned with the safety aspect… I must live there for a year since I am looking for an FHA loan.There are areas close by that i know can have criminal activity but I am uncertain about this specific area (1-2 mile radius).
