Coupled with providing a policy loan to my business which is purchasing real estate, there is a qualified interest deduction to my business and I'm able to harness some annual cash flow to pay back the policy, creating some synergy and a positive feedback loop paying back the loan faster so I can loan it out again on the next property.

@Matan Har North Carolina is a good state to invest in rental properties.I’m curious if you’re just planning a road trip for pleasure....and want to look in-person at potential target areas.

If you're going to find an agent that's just going to tell you about MLS stuff, you might as well go to har.com yourself, setup a saved search, and have HAR email you when property that fit your criteria hit the market.The only reason to hook up with an agent is if they know of off market deals.  

Houston's June rental market update per HAR.

With the new property's PITI added to my debt, I'd be hovering really closely to 50% DTI and may exceed it depending on exact numbers. 

Refer to your lease, if you used a generic HAR they will be responsible for the remainder of their lease.

For example, ADA states a service animal must be under the control of the owner, meaning harnessed, leashed, or tethered.

Use HAR to get tax rates for your target house, then calculate the rate based on the purchase price, not the previous value from the current owner's last assessment.

So I suspect if you see old listings, they're people doing what I just said I did(PS:  HAR does not like this.
