However, what I don't know is how long have you been in your home (how much equity do you have in the home) and what is your current interest rate.  

And if a property is owner occupied, how can you secure a loan with a hard money lender not being able to view the home to estimate repairs?

I've narrowed down the best return for my money in this market to a 2 bed/2 bath (with top tier amenities) - about 500 total 2/2 listings.I'm finding myself a bit stuck when analyzing why certain properties are making so much higher than the average listings when they seem to have very similar locations, amenities, style, flow of home, beds/# of people they sleep, reviews, number of reviews, etc.

I am currently self employed as a GC with my own company: Carolina Premier Homes.

I’m interested in purchasing an investment property with equity I’ve developed in my current home, however I’m concerned that if I have an issue renting out the new home it can blow up in my face.

Part of the reason we have that equity in our homes is to tap into it and turn it into even more wealth.

This can also be triggered if they have kids or what they perceive to be valuables in the home that have not been secured.It can also relate to how you conduct the inspection.
