I personally am not investing at the moment. 

- Suggest you Google "Amortization Calculator" and run a few scenarios to open your eyes!

I'm based out of Raleigh and personally own rental properties in Fayetteville, Benson and Clayton and could offer some friendly advice and help out with your journey. 

I'm a positive person like most of you probably are, and trusting, and the the way Peter Harris has his program set up to "sell you" is a thing of the past and something I would call predatory.

@Denis Orlov I don't do STR, but I've rented one of my personal properties for arbitrage before. 

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

The agent will not be paying you/seller/buyer because the agent does not bring money to the seller/buyer in any fashion in a transaction (typical transactions), unless this agent is a partner to that person buying the property, or they are a principal to the property.Let me know if that makes sense. 

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor. 

I don't personally care about checks anymore so that wasn't an important feature for me.
