He also claims there is no guest house in the backyard (even though it's clearly pictured in RedFin photos and on Google satellite view).

Thank you Jonathan,I just had my initial google meet with one of the Franchise Development Team members. 

BTW Jim Jones used flavor aid not kool aid.

You could have something make more money in a 3 year horizon but you need your return in 6 or 12 months etc.Do you have an address of the property for a Google street view to see how it is positioned on the road and in the market? 

I'm not certain who you spoke with that sounded so flaky, but you can rest assured that their business wasn't built on a scam.If you google Jeff Novak, I'm sure you can find his contact information.

FYI: The phone number I was given by Xplicit Home Loans was 816-343-9218.If you google it, it will take you to their LinkedIn page.

I've seen other houses down the road and across the street (thanks to Google Maps), but again, I'm not sure about utilities.

You can also google NC Standard Residential Lease and will find very similar options.

You can learn a lot if that is available before even making an offer.Also if you can figure out the name of the HOA a lot of times you can find the HOA website online by googling it.
