Good afternoon everybody, currently in contract for an 8-unit property in the Mount healthy area.

Ever read the label......how can same drug cause high or low blood pressure?

Or you could even mount it on the roof in the rear with a steel platform.

@Scott Bell I'm doing a few BRRRRs in Burlington right now that come pretty close to meeting this criteria (SF is a little smaller).We've also done a few projects in Wilson and Rocky Mount in the same budget range. 

Besides, I don't think I have the kind of personality to put pressure on someone to pay rent if they're late or break something.

Our number 1 goal is to get tenant that will pay and respect property but we do want to rent it so I guess market will dictate terms we will get, we are not pressured to lease out as we paid cash but we do want to get it rented.

By this I mean perhaps even renting a room so that you are not under pressure to buy a deal, it make take some time to find the deal that works for you.Duplexes aside, another option is to look for SFR's with ADU's (in-law suites). 

Assuming it rolls into month to month and doesn't just end that takes the pressure off of you needing it to be signed.  

It is possible that other payment platforms are not requiring this today, but with significant pressure from the IRS, it is unavoidable.

But even beyond that, because the profit is tax free you're not under pressure to reinvest.
