Does it matter to you, if your the seller, what color the armored truck is that drops off your giant pile of cash?

Notably, they pointed out the lack of an egress window for an above-ground room, which they considered a health and safety issue.

When you are house hacking, you get all of the other benefits of owning an investment property AND it saves you from otherwise paying rent.If you're in a position where you are not able to house hack, take a look at David Green's "Long Distance Real Estate Investing" book.

I also think that STRs are over saturated in the mountain/greens of WNC and Appalachian areas in general.Also, I registered on rentometer and was not able to provide information on some Zollow listings in Rabun County GA including in the city of Clayton!

There is also a procedure for when you're not able to afford it and what happens if you don't agree that it needs to be repaired/replaced/installed.

If you could take that same giant house in West Baltimore and put it in Federal Hill where there's mostly small 2 bedroom places it would be a much desired home!  

What I have come up with so far are these parameters:full list price of 240,000, 3.5% interest, 5 year interest only payments, 5 year ballon payment of 240,000, if I am not able to refinance for full amount or at all then balloon payment is extended 5 more years, they loan me 30k at 6% for renovations that is wrapped up into my interest payments, this 30k will come after tenant is removed next year, they pay my realtor commissions, and when I refinance they will give me 10k min and 15k max depending on how much my closing costs are.

The other "challenge" is I was not able to view the property because it was listed as occupied.

Lastly but the most notable is a 1031 exchange can happen.
