Let me know if you have any questions and I hopefully I can help you out, even if it is just advice. these are not new for me, my main concern is pretty much on logistic side (car,etc)....sometimes it's just hard if I have to drive from waikoloa to kona everytime to pickup car. I

Triplex's and quads all down Arthur Ashe Blvd and Cary Street but they typically come with a little more age. 

Car is late 90’s or early 2000s and looks worse for wear.

However, just like driving your car is not illegal, you can do illegal stuff while wholesaling or driving your car. 

We are living in the Cary, North Carolina area so it’s growing.

You are the one earning the money...the car is yours.I keep a mile booklet and have found, since I invest in southern MN, that the miles rack up to a very nice sized write off for the LLC. 

Raleigh and Cary for example might be too expensive, so perhaps it would be better to wait on the down payment until you can afford a nice rental property for the long term or even to house hack as suggested.Also, A house hack is when you benefit from others paying your lodging on a owned property.

I was working at a company in Cary and needed a reasonable rent for a pseudo-relocation while my family stayed back home in Texas. 

Lots of Raleigh folks on here and be on the lookout for the monthly unofficial BP meetup in Cary at the Hickory Tavern.

Example of investor-friendly terms we'd be looking for include:- asset-based lending with competitive rates- willing to loan to LLCs- competitive closing costs (<= $2K'ish)- willing to loan on rented and non-rented property (on initial purchase)- 80% LTV (on initial purchase, probably will be a bit lower on a refinance)- DSCR 0.8x (on initial purchase, probably will be a bit higher on a refinance)I'd love to find a brick-and-mortar location in SW Wake County - Morrisville, Apex, Cary, Holly Springs, etc.
