Know your numbers, strategy, and block out the noise. 

Audrey Welcome to Bigger Pockets and good luck investing!

DT or MOrt is what your borrower signs and that MUST be notarized the Note does NOT need to be notarized .. 7. upon recorded you get your lenders policy showing what position loan you made AND on the mortgage or deed of trust there is a Block that is filled in that tells the county recorder to mail this document back to you once recorded..

I just want help or advice on building it from the ground up and not getting overwhelmed by all the options at once and take baby steps towards the bigger picture.

I originally planned on selling the home, but after researching through Bigger Pockets lately, I have decided to hold and rent after a rehab.

Actually, they may be 7-day BLOCKS (i.e., you could do 7 days or 14 days but not 10).We co-own on the NC coast where most of the rentals are Sat-Sat.  

🥴There are probably very few members of Bigger Pockets that have done more full roof replacements than me over the years.

Hey @Priscilla PeWelcome to the bigger pockets family.

@Mike TravisWelcome to Bigger Pockets. 

But the bigger issue is the nonresidents (or a 2nd house) have to pay all the school tax!
