The last one that I would throw out is inspection, disclosures, and title challenges.

Evictions follow the same process from county to county in NC, however some counties are slightly more challenging than others.

I'm going to be 50 so patience is a challenge, but I will work on that! 

Yeah, it'll be a challenge to make work.

@Ryan Daulton So, you want to believe in fairy tales and challenge us to prove them wrong?

The challenge is the that you need to have a plan for the property that will allow you to improve rent collection, lower expenses or build the equity.

Any unexpected challenges you ran into?

Knowing the rent will likely show up each month—even if the tenant has challenges—removes a lot of the uncertainty that can come with rentals.The people listing this apartment as a “Section 8 property” are likely trying to target buyers who value that stability.

It can be time-consuming and challenging if you try to do everything on your own, so partnering with a trusted team can make all the difference.

So many variables can turn a deal sideways from 1 hour to the next - i.e. inspection findings, title issues, contracts, financing issues, taxes, dept. of buildings/local municipalities, etc.I'm glad to hear you made it through the challenges, and it sounds like you'll be able to leverage this experience as you grow your portfolio.All the best to you along your journey!
