I also think, the flat rate ppl are playing to a race to the bottom. 

Charlotte, NC, and its surrounding areas continue to offer exciting opportunities for real estate investors.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan I proposed to my husband:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Reverse engineer the list of most recently acquired hospitality business built or bought within the 30-40mile radius, You’d be puzzled at how much capital they have to play with.Crowdfunding or Real Estate Syndication: Platforms dedicated to real estate investment might have investors interested in backing a boutique hotel project.

I like this strategy and plan to continue. 

Roof lines, window styles, and masonry/siding all play into this natural flow, and the biggest mistake you can make when designing your flips is not following the flow that is already present!

Your continuous efforts of slander won't do anything.

Somebody somewhere had to pay for that real estate at some point and has continued to pay for it since.

You may just stumble into seller financing if play your cards right.

Didn't get into rentals on pupose but it's working out well and I want to continue to learn and develop my portfoilo.
