@Alan Asriants Excellent advice for anyone but especially newbies.

Yes, I worked with an excellent real estate agent who specializes in investment properties.

The RTP in RTP(no pund intended) will tighten up, this is an excellent market.

These areas offer excellent opportunities for long-term equity growth and solid rental income.Florida still has strong cap rates—you can expect 7-8% in year one, 8-10% in year two, and an average of 10-12% over five years.

They provide excellent, practical advice on every aspect of MTRs including cost metrics, location strategies, market data sources, needed furnishings, and more.

I will be seeking financing with my partner, who also has excellent credit.My main concern is the amount my credit score would drop when taking the offer, and if this would adversely affect our ability to apply for financing.

@Brienne Metcalf first off @Kevin Sobilo's points are all excellent. 

The county is the second fastest-growing in the U.S. and the fastest in North Carolina.The zoning for the project is already approved, and with our captive audience of potential tenants, I’m confident that all units will be leased upon completion.I’m seeking advice on how to best structure this debt with a private investor or investors in the short term until the property is fully rented and long-term financing is secured.

Until I hear of a company that does this, take care of the landlord costs, provide excellent care for tenants, I'll hold off.Yes, maintenance is a pain, yes, there is definitely an opportunity for a company to step it up, but each region is different and scaling this up is hard.I hope that Latchel and others get their operations up to snuff. 

Small business with excellent service and better yet great photos.
