Many people buy a house with a FHA loan and then turn it into a rental but it doesn't mean it's always allowed.

Borrowing against your paid off house without an income puts way too much pressure on the success of whatever deal/project you decide to pursue. 

Hi Joshua,We do have a current house in Idniana worth around 120K.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

These areas have affordable entry points, diverse housing stock, and steady demand.

Cost per lead (CPL) is crucial—it shows how much you're paying to get a potential seller or buyer’s info, and you want this as low as possible without sacrificing quality.

I'm working on a creative finance deal with a 50/50 subto/seller finance deal.

The ban in Asheville proper started in 2016 though, and we don't seem to have more affordable housing as a result.

You can look on websites like https://www.corporatehousingbyowner.com/search/United-States... and https://www.furnishedfinder.com to see what similar houses are rented for.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.
