@Darrell ShepherdIf you are dodging the processor server, they can just post it in the local newspaper and consider you been served.

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

Consider me a friend in the charlotte market and let's grab coffee (there are many cute coffee shops here and I can tell you where to find the good texmex)

Just make sure you set up a LLC to rack up the required experience.

One meter reading for all usage or like some small communities a set price for each occupied home?

If you finance conventionally you don't have that limitation, but you can set your own goal. 

Glad you are setting aside money, but if the HVAC is 20 years old, or the septic system has never been pumped, or the roof is 25 years old, etc; you will get hit with a cost before your build up enough set aside.How stable is the other tenant? 

By working closely with hosts, legal teams, and city officials, PadSplit successfully defended its model, ensuring continued housing opportunities for those in need.With this case setting a precedent outside of Atlanta, it strengthens the argument for more flexible and inclusive housing policies.

Real estate is not a get rich quick scheme or something I would quit my day job for unless you are set up for it.

Focus on building a strong local team, researching neighborhoods thoroughly, and considering turnkey properties if you're new to minimize risks.Good luck!
