@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I think I would try to get past the one-year mark for capital gains then sell it.

I am a professional photographer and have been doing that for the past 18 years, so I'll also be building my business in NC from the ground up!

Please recommend a lawyer who works with fixed fee and does not charge for every min s/he talks to you. 

This will allow you to get the sheriff involved immediately.If you are already past the notice period then you will probably have to follow whatever state laws are in place for the notification period and possibly the eviction process.

I reply firmly that the rent has been late for the past two months as well as this month and she will have to vacate the property.Again, crickets...There are few days until the 10 day notice period expires and I can formally file for eviction.So I reached out to lawyers in the area and they ask for retainers up to $3k and some $300 consultation fees.

Michael, I regret that this is happening to you but I think you need to get past chasing rent for this month and realize that there's only one way this ends.

Hey folks,Posting here because I couldn’t find a recent (past two year) answer about using Fannie Mae / FHA 203k etc loans for a house hack in DFW.

Midwest has inflated over the past 5 years (as everywhere else), indexed to cost of new construction.

From what I read in Bloomberg, delays in high-demand areas have gone up significantly in the past year.
