------Drawbacks, it doesn't have a great SMS follow up sequence.

One month vacancy can eat up all the cash flow.

Now more than ever, I am seeing offers required to be submitted through a portal where the listing agents want no business being involved with up front negotiations.

A local property manager will make this much easier and handle the visits for you.Single-family homes can still do well, even with more apartments popping up, as they cater to tenants who want privacy and space.

I did find this deal driving driving for dollars, the realtor of the property was adding his sign in the front yard, I approached to make and offer. we close in 3 weeks.

(For example, IF I was able to purchase the first home (multi-family) outright, paid-in-full, then use a HELOC to pay for the down payment and closing costs for the second home, would that be a smarter approach?)

Never heard of Investor's Edge, but this sounds like a straight up scam.

We own 10 homes, but all the rest are traditional leases and are also close to our primary home in the Lake Norman area (all w/in 30m).

Insurance costs are going up like crazy.

I am currently under contract with a wholesale deal that was to close on Monday.
