If there is a lead in your area might not hurt to test it out and report back in here?

I've dealt with 1,000's of Section 8 tenants across multiple states.

Approval for extra pets, yes: I have multiple statements about "and damages by guests, XYZ caused by guests, performed by guests, etc."  

I've also talked to multiple CPA's on this topic and they explained how you have to capitalize everything since the intent is to flip it.

On the construction side I have an advantage because I'm a very experience contractor that can handle multiple big or small projects, specially out of state.I started now because I got all my systems in place!

This can be a great option for investors with multiple properties or those who want to avoid the limitations of traditional mortgage qualifications.

Maybe you can do a joint venture first in NC to test the waters and build your team there.

I recommend setting aside a contingency fund of at least 10-15% of your total budget to handle surprises without derailing your project.Juggling multiple contractors and staying on schedule is tougher than it seems.

Basically read the books and take the test. 

For contractors, your best way to protect yourself is just get multiple quotes.
