@Paulette Midgette I haven't looked at that statute in a while but I would check to see if the Home Improvement Consumer Protection Act ("HICPA") applies to this situation.

Plus by going with you, they won't have the benefit of an agent's errors and omissions insurance, the support of their brokerage, and the experience an agent has in protecting their clients from everything that can go wrong in real estate transactions.

I have on multiple occasions, once with one of my own properties and a few times for clients been able to not only get the money they paid for a property but also gave them extra money in a total loss (protected the equity that has accrued due to inflation in the industry).  

If you're using traditional financing on your primary residence, they're going to do another credit check on you just before closing.

Multifamily is considered residential since people reside in the structure. it's part of contractors license law, our testing is on it and violating can and will result in punitive actions.

Strategy 1: buy a duplex, live in one unit (for one year as a "primary residence) and rent out another unit as a short-term / mid-term rental on Airbnb.

Have the property taxes increased because this is an investment property and not a primary residence?

I'll be keeping your info as I'm about to be a North Carolina resident and property investor.

A well written management contract should clearly spell out what is expected of both the PMC and the owner, to PROTECT both and avoid misunderstandings.
