I am also going through the eviction process in Winston-Salem called a bunch of attorneys and yeah they want crazy retainers however I was referred to one where there was a $300.00 hour phone consultation.

But the lawsuit reveals details that are hard to ignore: emails, phone calls, and even group meetings allegedly used to share strategies for keeping rents high.

The tenant hasn’t been the greatest: late payment with not always paying late fees, multiple complaints from the neighbors, changing phone numbers, ect .

If it's not feasible due to circumstances I suppose I'll have to adjust my situation (find weekend job, move back to NJ with parents, move to a different state with, etc.)All responses are appreciated, and I am absolutely open to chatting on the phone by the way.My view on house hacking is it can be a great tool to buy a house you could not  otherwise afford, but it shouldn’t be a goal in it of itself if that makes sense and that’s not to discourage you from investing just there are alternatives such as the stock market. so I’d start by asking where you want to live, do you want to own a single family home or does it make more sense to rent in a more interesting neighborhood like Arlington, Alexandria, that’s gonna be a personal choice, Will your monthly payment actually be less than renting/how many people do you need to get in the house to afford that?

Make sure you choose a realtor who is used to travelling into your target community and not just engaging properties from behind a phone/computer screen.

(I am avoiding phone numbers and websites so this response doesn't get redacted)Good luck, Janet

However I also probably would have tried to troubleshoot over the phone before sending the plumber which may or may not have removed the need to send someone.

I just got off the phone today with an investor-friendly real estate agent in another state (not NYS) who has a whole team behind her and has made it seem as if real estate investing is a much simpler process.

We had only worked together via phone and email for this deal.After all prorations at closing, I was only responsible to bring 6% to the table.

If the report looks good, We have a phone interview.
