Hello, I have 5 mortgages on 8 investment properties, but I'm no longer working a high income job and so I need to pay more attention to DTI for future loans. 

I don't know your criteria for a good deal, but if you're strictly looking on market for a quad in Raleigh you likely won't find one in the near future that meets what you're looking for.I have been looking in both Raleigh and Charlotte for the past few months and I barely came across any good deals at least online.

At the time, house prices were at an all-time high.

Hey Jason thanks for the tip.

Hello everyone, I’m new to this site and looking to learn how to buy my first rental. 

-- Recommend a professional be hire!

If the asking price is $100k, perhaps offer $100k, but will go as high as $120k and exceed any other competing offer by $500.

Do you have any recommendations?

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips on how you’re handling this!

I would greatly appreciate any tips your friend would like to share.
