That's pretty harsh. 

And I am ready to pull the trigger as soon as I can find that next property.Anyone have suggestions for finding an agent in the Charlotte, NC area that is willing to work with a newer investor ready to purchase their second rental property?

He's brought on his own attorney, another business owner who ensures if the 'due on sale' clause is triggered when buying subto that he takes care of all the paperwork with the bank and title if needed, etc.The knowledge sharing is like no other.

Run your numbers and if they look ok, pull the trigger and take action. 

Procuring cause would apply with the old Nonexclusive agency agreement that isn't used any longer because since there was no time frame involved the procuring cause was the trigger to tie an buyer to that agent for a commission.

Also, when using a wholesaler, I put a deposit in escrow so they knew I was serious and could pull the trigger quickly.

The time has now come that my wife and I are finally ready to pull the trigger on our first property - a residential multi-family in the Milwaukee area.At the same time, I've been experiencing severe burnout and unsustainable amounts of overtime at my day job (60+ hours/wk for months).

@Josephine Ramesh,Any updates if you ever pull the trigger on getting a lake front property in Hiawassee?

Risk Assessment: Consider vacancy rates, potential repairs, and unexpected expenses.Once you're comfortable analyzing a few deals, you’ll be in a great spot to pull the trigger on your first property.If you need help with financing or want advice on what options might work for you, feel free to reach out.

Specifically will this property require a secondary form of egress and if so, can the architect provide this in building permit  plans and does the change of use trigger the need for an NFPA 13R sprinkler system?
