As an owner, I just want to know that the manager cares about my property almost as much as I do and is going to want it to be successful.

The owner Corinne is very knowledgeable and honest.

How are people buying multiple non owner occupied properties on fixed rate traditional 30y mortgages? 

However, I would avoid neighborhoods where the vast majority of the homes are owner occupied and all of the homes are really well kept - you can do a quick search on county GIS or software and click on the homes to see if they are owned in personal names or LLCs. 

@Caleigh McDonoughHere are the pros and cons of waiting for 20% down on a mortgage in Charlotte, suggesting starting with 5-10% down, leveraging owner-occupied financing, and refinancing.

For sale by owner and seller finance is completely different. buyer/tenants don’t always have bad credit.

In our experience as a property management company, we allow owners to use home warranties, but they are required to coordinate directly with the warranty company themselves.The main issue we’ve seen is that home warranties can significantly delay even simple repairs.

Get a DBA and use to open a business bank account.Have your properties "hire" the DBA to manage your rentals and collect rents.Most states require a lease to identify the owner of a leased property, whether a person, trust, LLC, IRA, etc.Landlord = Lord of the Land = Owner per deedAgent = someone legally representing the ownerProperty Manager = Agent

Then I look for properties that fit my parameters…and I always ask for owner financing…even though I might use that mortgage broker.
