As a senior baseball player looking to eventually play pro ball after this spring semester, I acquired a serious interest in doing real estate as another source of income.

Did you acquire this without seeing it?

It would not surprise me if they were acquiring the paper and servicing rights to take an inside line on refi's for these customers if rates decline.Actually CFPB regs may NOT apply if the subject loans are investment or commercial property loans and not SFR owner occupied or consumer loans. 

It frees you up to focus on living your life and acquiring more property.

My suggestion would be to manage it yourself for 1-2 years, then as you acquire more rental properties, you can start using a PM. 

You have varied answers above, but the answer is that in North Carolina, the seller is NOT required to disclose a problem that has been fully remedied.

@Pat Aboukhaled I would ULS (unit lot segment) the primary house and include a clause in the call option that would prevent them acquiring the DADU.

How many tax liens have you acquired?

I'm not a beginning investor but my previous properties were acquired pre-2013 but I've made beginner mistakes trying to grow buying "cash flow on paper" Class C properties in 2023.
