The border income that you listed is only required when purchasing a primary residence, you can't use the roommate tenants , even with existing leases to help qualify for the mortgage.If you are buying it as a investment property, you just need to record it on your tax return for 2024 tax return and in 2025, when you file your taxes, you will be able to count it positively for your debt to income ratio.

Thus you may do well to focus on bordering towns, such as Old Fort, Mars Hill, Waynesville, Brevard, etc.Hope this helps.

Cross Border finance companies (If anyone wants to go this route I know the 3 largest in the area) Hope this helps! 

Investing in a bordering city is a good idea because of that if you can find a deal where the numbers will work for you.

Kansas is unfortunately... the sold home prices don't show up say like our bordering states colorado they even show up on zillow etc.

And from that data base we ONLY direct mailed those we could not get on the phone.. in those days we had to use the reverse directory.. so it was very laborious.. it took over a year to gather 10k leads from the OR CA border to Just south of Tacoma WA.. 

If you are an investor looking to branch off and diversify your portfolio beyond your local borders, I highly suggest you find an investor friendly agent to help guide you through the process of finding your next deal.

Hi @Brett Borders!

Look in the suburbs or just over the border in NH.
