im excited as well si ce im alo looking into house hacking i my area.

However, if a licensed agent brought you a buyer, you need to compensate them.With a LO, you simply look at market rent and add in a bit (10-20%). 

Also look at Camp Verde, Cottonwood, etc.

@Will Barnard do you have a referral for a Los Angeles Real Estate Attorney?  

An Orange County-based seller sold the property to a Los Angeles-based private investor for $8.4 million.The purchase included the retail center and approximately 2.5 acres of undeveloped land with flexible zoning.

Banks typically have extensive overlays over base mortgage guidelines, so I would recommend using a mortgage broker over a LO at a bank.

Shouldn't be too hard, maybe start by finding a LO on these forums that's in NC (or wherever your rentals are).

Those can pile up quickly and the lender should also avoid that due to penalties and interanl fee's on the percentages of "Lock & Fallout".I would tell you to alos get a quote from a bigger bank FDIC and compare rate and total costs!

Thank you A LO familiar with investment property loans will still be able to use the rental income to offset.

Like you, I'm a Los Angeles based investor with rentals in the midwest in that range so I use these same products for my own portfolio.
